Because of this learning <b>opportunity</b>, students were <b>exposed</b> to new words. <br /><br />I participated in the project by drawing three pictures that <b>represented</b> a word. They were <b>waning, relevant, and contraction</b>. My first word was <b>contraction</b>. I <b>illustrated</b> it with Aashi and when we were done we took a picture of the drawing and added it to the rest of the <b>photographs</b> that were already in the document. My second word was <b>waning</b>. I drew it with Nate. What I liked about this word was the way we could use it <b>multiple</b> times. For example, the moon <i>wanes</i> as it gets earlier in the morning and a tip of a pencil or crayon would <i>wane</i> if you have used it many times. My third and final word was <b>relevant</b>. I did this word with Keira. I liked how Keira and I took our time on the illustration. As George Washington said, "<i>haste makes waste</i>." <br /><br />What was your favorite word that you illustrated? Why was it your favorite?<br /><br />Your <b>learner</b>,<br />Sh♥ynaShaynanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-61485419449823090752014-02-13T19:38:18.020-08:002014-02-13T19:38:18.020-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,

We are friends, as you may know, so we tell each other everything that needs <b>seeking</b>. After a while, we found someone reading the book by accident. <br /><br />My favorite <b>genre</b> is mystery, adventure, and best of all, fiction. I like mystery because then you can have fun trying to guess where or what it might be. Adventure fits me because then you can <b>explore</b> all of the interesting places without actually going there. I especially like fiction because if something sad happens, you don't have to worry because it isn't even real! :-D What genres do you like and why?<br /><br />Yes, I have thought of something <b>irrelevant</b> when Mrs. Yollis was talking. I was thinking of, <i>"What a great trip it will be with Keira to Universal Studios this Sunday!"</i> For real, I am really <b>jumpy</b> for this <b>remarkable</b> Sunday. Luckily, I used my <b>metacognition</b> to put me back on track. Have you daydreamed?<br /><br />Your friend,<br />HeatherRockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783541112534653879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-54490725097951667992014-02-13T07:55:12.157-08:002014-02-13T07:55:12.157-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,

When we start...Dear Mrs. Yollis and Mrs. Monaghan,<br /><br />When we started the A-Z project, I was <b>eager</b> to begin. I had two words in the project. I did both of those words with different <b>colleagues</b> in the class. <br /><br />My first word was genre. I did genre with Jemma, and this word was a very <b>pleasant</b> word. Jemma and I organized the books into groups based on their genre. We then placed signs on top of the stacks so <b>the public</b> could <b>identify</b> the books in the <b>various categories. </b>Sometimes, since it took a while to finish this <b>enterprise, folks</b> would remove books from the setup, and mess up the stacks of books. This would cause Jemma and me to reorganize the stacks, and put the cards on top of the stories. One time, someone took Jemma's library book! Did you know that happened? What is your most <b>favored</b> genre?<br /><br />My second word was relevant. I did relevant with Shayna, and luckily, this time, no <b>dilemmas</b> occurred. The image that we drew shows a teacher asking the answer to a division problem. Two <b>pupils</b> responded, but only one student's response was relevant. The other child's response was <b>irrelevant.</b> Have you ever been in a classroom and the teacher has asked you a question, but you were not paying attention and thinking of something totally off topic? If so, What were you thinking of?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />KeiraKeiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-23471518330408592362014-02-12T14:03:28.235-08:002014-02-12T14:03:28.235-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,
