Children / Adults

For our QW today we did a pre-reading journal activity for our first reading assignment in The Little Prince. Mrs. Scales had an example on the front board. It looked like a T chart with the word Adult written above one column and the word Child written above the second column. Our task was to think about the way adults and children think differently. We listed qualities or personality traits for adults and children on the chart and then had to write an example to describe how children and adults look at things in different ways.

Our homework reading for today is: Chapters 1-4 (pages 3 – 19) of The Little Prince.

We continued root word presentations and worked on our writing assignments for the remainder of class today.

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.
