Today began with a "reset" meeting in which we discussed our hectic weeks previous to this one. We discussed "stoking our flames" and what motivated us to do our best. After this "reset" discussion, we had a National Honor Society student come in for Read Across America week and read Oh The Places You'll Go to us. This was the perfect book to fit our morning discussion.
In math, we continued to look at and apply the rules of volume.
In the afternoon, Google Docs were being used to collaboratively draft.
Finally, we finished the day with a compare and contrast lesson on the characters Joseph and Sybil from our Revolutionary War reading.
As I discussed with students, right now is the most important time to be motivated. We have a lot of things going on, a very big event in one month, and middle school peaking over the horizon. Now is not the time to pack up and say, "I'm done for the year." Now is the time to work harder than ever before, put the maximum amount of effort into homework, and be the best student possible. I know I will be expecting nothing less. We can do this, I believe in everyone single person in this classroom.
