Guest Student Slicer - Jasmine

Friends are great people.
They are loyal and fun.
They are always there for you
when you need them the most.  
You can call them any time
and ask any question.
Love  Care  Fun.

    Jasmine,I have enjoyed reading your posts. Your last 3 words say it all about friends--love, care, fun. Congratulations on completing your slices. Continue your writing even though no one is watching. This is my goal now, too.

Today I feel somewhat overwhelmed.   We have less than 8 weeks of school left and so much to do.   I am working on a persuasive research piece with my students and today we began reviewing taking notes, paraphrasing and summarizing.   I gave the students some information about their topics so they could take some notes today and possibly tonight so I can help them with their notes tomorrow. I plan to review bibliography so if they are researching, they won’t forget to get the information they need for their bibliography.   It has helped students in the past; otherwise they get to the end and have forgotten where their information came from.   I give them a worksheet to keep track of the information in the correct order. Most of the students have chosen within about eight different topics.   They seem to be pretty passionate about their topic as I discuss it with them. I find as I talk with them and have their three arguments written down that they have a...
