Week of August 30 - September 3

Our week began with introductions to the characters in our classroom.  We each created a collage about our setting, motivation, favorites and words that others would use to describe us.  It was great to get to know unique and suprising things about each other.  After reading "Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, we gave a penny for our thoughts during class discussion.  We each had three pennies and had to think about when we wanted to use them to share our ideas or to respond to another student.  The conversation was going so well that Ms. Nickow had to stop us because class was going to end!  On Friday we visited the Fremd Media Center to hear about some great books and choose one for our independent reading projects (if we didn't already have one).
