The test is over! School is back in session!
Today my juniors played…and had fun.
- First they drafted in their Writer’s Notebook about two topics.
- Next they posted these thoughts on their individual blogs.
- Then copy/pasted this content into Wordle.
I had hoped to get to #4…printing and publishing for the rest of the school to see. Unfortunately, we had some difficulties staying connected with Blogger. (Note to self: contact tech people to inquire about this.)
Despite this setback, excitement was in the air!
We also began discussing the Holocaust as I assigned each student a poem written by a child in the Terezin Concentration Camp. With only this poem to use as a means of getting to know their very young person, each student will create a memorial to this child by creating a butterfly to hang in my room. This project was inspired by Dr. Pezz at The Doc Is In.
Not one single moan. Not one!

Awesome! I hope you have time to let me know how it works out. This is one of my favorite lessons of the year.
