Jim Returns

After turning in all of the homework from last week:

Treasure Island Letter
Crossword Puzzle
Anchor Piece Sentence Fluency Revision

We got the great news that 74% of all the 7th graders scored 90% or higher on last week’s DLW sentences. Only the people who didnot recieve 90% or higher have to keep doing DLW sentences. Since there are fewer students who have to do the DLW, Mrs. Scales will not be writing the sentences on the board each day. Instead those people who haeve to do the DLW sentences were given a handout with all five sentences and instructions to write each sentence corretly on their own paper and turn it in by Friday.

The rootword test was then taken on moodle.

Next, we reviewed the newest character in Treasure Island Ben Gunn. Benn has been marooned on the island for the last three years. Naturally, he is a little crazy from being all alone for so long. He really wants some cheese. He sees the British flag flying over the stockade and tells Jim that it must be his friends. Jim then makes his way to the stockade and is reunited with his friends, Dr. Livensey, Squire Telawney and the others.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
