Crew Workday

A.J. in pink pirate colors. Bret as a rather unattractive woman with “no taste in clothes” (student comments, not mine.) and Chris as one of the bounty hunter’s wives, all marked the very strange spirit day today.

Mrs. Scales reminded us to study for the root word test tomorrow. Everyone should be able to get a perfect score as this is the second time taking the same root word test.

Pink Poetry Night registration forms were passed out. It is a 5 point assignment to take the form home and get a parent signature. These forms are due back to Mrs. Scales by Friday.

There was also a sign up on the front board for anyone wanting to do a book talk next Tuesday in class.

We quickly reviewed the upcoming writing contest and opportunity deadlines and Mrs. Scales posted a calendar to help us keep track of deadlines.

The rest of the class time was used for crews to work on their Jolly Rogers.

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.
