I wrote along with David today and we shared our writing with each other, offering positive feedback and critique.

We read the next two vignettes of the book. We discussed the themes of identity and belonging and PJ wrote a reader response.

We read about what school is like in another country. Chris chose North Korea. We compared the students' school day to ours and discussed the similarities and differences.

We read a cliffhanger and Philip came up with his own cliffhanger.

Bobby will complete his reading assignment.

Today's vignette was about the neighbors that surrounded Esperanza and her family. After we discussed this part of the story, PJ wrote his own vignette in a similar style.

Today we learned about idioms and their origins. Chris then used context clues to figure out the meaning of different origins in a sentence.

Today we completed some word games and logic problems as a way to improve vocabulary, memory, and concentration.

Philip wrote an essay on the characteristics of a hero. Then I had him check it for MLA format.
