Student Written Blog

Our log today was (mostly) written by Jeremy M.

Today we started out by taking a pop quiz on using resources.

“Right now, Mrs. Scales is giving us a lecture about doing our work.  She is saying that we will have homework every day until we start passing every piece of homework.”

(Okay, actually I said, “We will have daily homework assignments until the majority of students can demonstrate that they are using the resources provided for them.”)

 

Today our root word was cent, centi – it means 100 or hundredth. Our example words were, centennial, centimeter, and century.

 

Today was also a writing workshop day.  We are working on conventions and have to edit our essays.  After we have edited our essay’s ourselves, we have to trade and proofread someone else’s essay.  Our essays are due at the start of class on Friday, but today is the last class time we will have to do any work on them.

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.
