Summary

We started off the day with copying down the agenda. Then, Ms. Nakada sent Noah and me out of the room. When I came back in the room, Chavez or Enrique put my chair under my desk. Then, we did the meditation where we went up and down some stairs. Then, Ms. Nakada said raise your hand if you haven't done the blog, and I was raising my hand, feeling perfectly fine, until Enrique decided to harass me, and I told him to stop, and Ms. Nakada chose me. 

After, we did readers workshop for like 10 minutes. After, we took our notebooks out to do the lines of the week. The line was "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde. We talked about snapping during poems. Larry did not know how to snap, and Ms. Nakada was teaching him.

Pov: Enrique Alberto Martinez

We then read the poem and started talking about the poem and what is about. They then announced about submitting the attendance to the attendance thing and everyone assumed that Ms. Nakada did not but she actually did submit attendance. We then went to our I.O. and B.A. essays and writing about the Faces article A.C.E. After, the bell rang, and we left the class.

Then, Ms. Nakada corrected the blog, then, she chose me to write this one. We talked about the second semester schedule and our reading journals. I decided to read Alias Grace for Reader's Workshop. In this book, Grace's father suggests they eat her younger sibling. After Reader's Workshop, we started on this week's quote. "It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains." -Assata Shakur

We discussed the Black Panther Party and how Assata Shakur is wanted by the FBI. Also, Shadow Wizard Money Gang is a cult. We then had a discussion about how to make the world more fair with the question: How can we work toward a more just world? 

Then, we made a T-chart about Inside Out & Back Again. Finally, we packed up and left.

RJ 1.4 IO&BA part 4

    Hello, everybody my name is Aaron and welcome back to... my third blog, apparently. We entered the classroom, got to our seats and sat down (average stuff). Everyone settled in by getting their binder reminders and filling them out. Ms. Nakada got the new students their seats, and William pointed out that Jerry wasn't here (how not Jerry of him). After he said that, Ms. Nakada (technically didn't) correct his blog as it was beautiful and perfect which is why we got a point (W Jerry ngl).

{pretend there's a troll face here}

the thing didn't upload

    Ms. Nakada had us open our English notebooks and had us continue reading, but not before asking us if we finished part three. I thought Ms. Nakada forgot to pick someone, but then she asked who hadn't done their third blog. I raised my hand because obviously. It looked like everyone didn't have their hand raised when I think Emmett was the one to call me out. Following this, I went to the 'Blog Table' to do my blog (hi).

    Few minutes later, the class discussed Part three of IO & BA. Ms. Nakada began to talk about Part four (I was not even finished with reading part 3333333333333) ((<--- this does not count to the number grammar thing😇)). She said if we finished the book... we'd have to do the iReady Middle of the Year Diagnostic. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    So anyway, you know how that went. The people did their average test things n' stuff. Some people finished, Some others didn't. Ms. Nakada had us pack our stuff and put the books at the pile at the aisle.

Bell rang. We left. O k a y.

    We started off the day by writing down the agenda and having William read his blog. He called us losers, which was really mean, and he didn't know who Ulisses was. Then, we took out our notebooks and added the line of the week. We listened to Mary Oliver read her poem and listened to Ms. Nakada explain the poem. 

Line: "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" from "The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver.

    After that, we each got a copy of Inside Out & Back Again and started reading Part 3. It was the longest part so I didn't finish in class. At last when the bell rang, we packed up and left.

Hello, Losers. I started by writing the agenda, and then we all took a minute. Then, we listened to Ulisses read his blog, and after Ms. Nakada asked, "Who hasn't done their third blog?" I raised my hand. Ulisses, who finished the blog, picked me.

Next, we talked about shallow and what it might mean. Then, Ms. Nakada told us, while we were listening to the song, to think what kind of shallow the song is talking about. When the song finished we went over parts of the lyrics and what it means. 

Then, we turned over to the reading journal, and we went over what people wrote and what they drew for the assignment. Then, Ms. Nakada told us that if we were done with 1.1 then to move onto 1.2 and I finished the summary while Ms. Nakada was still drawing. 

We all packed up, and then three minutes later, the bell rang. Then, we left. 

I finished, and Jerry, I choose you next.

Today we walked into sixth period and sat down. We all took a minute to write down the agenda. After the minute, Landon went up and read the blog. After he read his blog, he chose me, which I saw coming. I walked up to the front of the classroom and sat down to start writing the blog. After I settled, we all took the week seventeen quiz. After the quiz, Ms. Nakada had us look at parent portal to see our grades and progress reports. We started working on our winter haikus in our English notebook. After that, we worked on our cursive alphabet in our notebooks, which was super confusing. After all of that, we all packed up, and left to enjoy our three week break.
