Hello Everyone!

I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

For Homework: ALL LEVELS

Today we focused on gathering seeds and using those seeds to spark a piece of writing.  

Yesterday we read about Arnold telling Rowdy that he was transferring to Reardan.  Rowdy became upset and punched Arnold.

Today we used that section as inspiration for our seed gathering. 

Tonight (or this weekend) sit down with someone at home and work on the seeds we gathered in class today.  Ask someone as home about the times they have wanted to "boil" and how did they calm themselves down.
