So thankful for the RAIN over the weekend!!!!! And the cooler weather. I like Fall to feel like Fall because it's definitely starting to look like Fall. The colors this time of year are another thing I am very thankful for.
This week in class we are learning how to revise and edit with the Process of Writing. We went over Less. #11 in Buckle Down books and also looked at the persuasive rubric in the Write Source textbook on p.256-257. I will pass out their persuasive 5 paragraph essays from last week tomorrow. They will pick a peer to read their essay and start peer revisions. We will do peer and self-revisions tomorrow and Wednesday. Then start re-writting our rough drafts on Thursday. Final copies are due Friday. Vocab Wb Less. #14 due Thurs and quiz Friday. We will have 6 academic vocabulary words this week as well.
Josh update:
He had a bit of a set back over weekend. He was throwing up--doctors not sure why, so they moved him back to ICU for a day or two. He is going to be moved to Children's Hospital where they will start his rehab. He has been in a wheelchair a few times. Josh was texting me some last night. He read all of the 8th graders letters. He and his mom were very moved by them. And they made him smile and laugh. :)
