Children / Adults Continued

After reading the first four chapters of The Little Prince, our thought provoking quick write for the day was:

Write your thoughts or a response to the quote, “Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be aways and forever explaining things to them.”

What a great quote! Several students shared their quick writes and a lively discussion followed. It seems that even in 7th grade many students do not feel that their parents or adults in general really try to understand things on their own.

Today was the last day for root word review, and the BIG test in tomorrow. Everyone finished their root word presentations.

We reviewed the requirements for our 4th grading period writing assignments yet again. Today our focus was on the narrative piece. We reviewed the necessity of a plot that follows a plot diagram in any story.

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.
