Mrs. Ruiz’s Blog

What a day!  We have continued our positive start to the school year.  We started off by looking at the calendar in DE streaming and found it was JK Rowling’s birthday!  So we read the related article and viewed a short movie on the fantasy genre.  The students really seemed to enjoy this and are looking forward to what tomorrow has in store!  I spoke to the class further about blogging and our SchoolBlog site, then they got to spend some time there responding to polls, answering my forum question about books and reading, uploading photos, and creating blog posts of their own choosing.  We also did some critical reading of a newspaper article selected by one of the table groups, we also discussed it as a class, and responded to it in writing.  Those were just some of the things we did today!
