Good to see you here. Thanks for checking out the blog and catching up on what we did and where we're going.
Couple basics first: remember to bring your agenda, something to write with, and your language arts notebook to class everyday. When you enter class you should read our classroom agenda and then be sure to write down the learning goals and the homework.
Today we began I Am...poems. Okay, well, at least we read mine. I left it at school, but it went something like this:
I am
a passion driven
morning running
mountain biking
book loving
no excuse making
expectation challenging
language arts teaching
Hacienda chip gobbling
Breaking Bad bingeing
Snapchatting
family man
who can't sit still.
Look how I ended all the middle lines with verbs. (By the way, do you remember the seven main parts of speech? We mentioned them all today. I'll be asking you for them tomorrow again.)
Tomorrow you will be doing the same; that is, you will be writing your own I Am...poem. We'll share them, take them home, type them up, and hang them up around the class so others can see who you are.
Be thinking tonight of those special lines that make you you. Those lines that makes you special/unique/one-of-a-kind. Then you will have an I Am...poem that really stands out.
We'll possibly start a story tomorrow as well. Can't wait! See you soon.
