On the 4th day of December, Div 2 gave to me...jumping jacks while singing ABCs. Be sure to share your learning with your parents. You received your chemical change marks today which is now the 3rd of three marks which make up your mark for Science. All 'non-band' students received your ancestral rubrics and you should do the same with this as it is an important part of your socials grade. The rest of you will receive yours tomorrow. POST: What is the key thing that you learned from doing these Ancestral essays? Guess what!! Reports tomorrow...have you been working on your goals like you promised at your interim? Have you been following through with your goals at home with your parent support? Well tomorrow you will be assessing yourself and this will be our focus at our conferences next week. Some of you are going to remind your parents to contact me to arrange for a time to conference. Math: gr. 7s 2 practice division questions using your grid. Reading: You should have your weekly reflection done in your reading notebook on Thursdays each week...but I will not be reading these until starting Monday. So as long as you have it done by Monday that is fine. (use your reflection criteria at the beginning of your book to help you.) Every Thursday is your reflection day but every day you read is your reading strategy day...aka stickie strategy. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on yesterday's website. For those of you who didn't like the ending,(and everyone else who didn't do this yesterday), watch the interview for the author's response and POST your thoughts about the author and her messages. You will be happy that you watched this.

I learned that I was lucky enough to have technology and transportations because when my grandfather was young he didn't have those things.

I learned that my grandfather was a very cool, brave, heroic man that saved many downed pilots in the Vietnam War.

I learned how to write and make up open-ended questions and I also learned how my grandma supported her kids through her life till she died.

I learned how lucky I am. I look at my great great grandma's life and how hard and scary it was, and then I look at my life and think how grateful I really should be!

Now that I have watched the video I payed really close attention to the part where Carley comes back in the epilouge and I kinda just got emotional. I wouldnt be able to hug Julie without shedding a few tears and having a 2 day conversation. In the essay I learned the difference in open and closed ended questions. It was cool how my grandpa had explained and showed me what technology and transportation was like.

From the ansesteral essay I learned that all of us are very very lucky that we don't have world war one or anything like that. I also learned that in the olden days there was no such thing as testing or gmail or any devices. I also learn a lot about my great great grampa that I wouldn't have gotten to know if I didn't do the project!

I've learned a lot form this essay, but the biggest thing I learned was the fact that we are all very lucky. I've had a lot of fun doing this project.

What I learned is how lucky I am compared where my mom went to school back then. And I feel bad because the teachers were mean to hear and there was lots of presher on here. And at school in ms. W class it is not hard it is just normal.
