December 7-11 2009

On Monday Book Reports was brought into class to turn in for a grade. Joesph was so excited about his report that he wanted to present his to the class. His book report was on the book " To Kill a Mockingbird" which talked about racism. Also Mrs. Turner passed the article " Seven Gifts for Teachers that will last a lifetime" and assigned to finding a teacher that has all of the gifts in the article and write them a letter. After that we started the movie " Freedom Writers".


On Tuesday during class we decided on what pictures to use for Coach Rhodes room maker over. We also discussed our Christmas Party and made changes with the locations. After that we picked back with the movies "Freedom Writers". After school we decorated Coach Rhodes room, with pictures, laps, curtains, and etc.


On Wednesday we talked about the great success of the room maker for Coach Rhodes. We also signed up for drinks, desserts and chose pizza for the Christmas Party. After that we continued the movie.
On Thursday we had to take pictures for the year book, and when we returned we completed the movie. That night we went to Joesph's house for our Christmas Party. We had so much fun laughing and playing games with each other. Everyone brought silly gifts to exchange and that was very interesting. What a night we had at our Christmas Party!

On Friday we all was in different locations for Teacher Observation at Schools from elementary to high.
