Reading about Dexter...

10-18-11
Aloha Room 28 Bloggers! 
It sure has been a while!  We took a short break to concentrate on our first quarter assessments and had to leave "Dexter" aside.  Now that we're back on track and reading more about Dexter, we sure are learning a LOT more!  We even met a new character...Robin!  Hmmmm...I wonder how Robin will influence Dexter?  I wonder if Robin and Dexter will begin a new friendship?  Your next assignment is to read chapters 9, 10 and 11 by Friday, Oct. 21.  But before you read, make a prediction.  If you've already read up to chapter 11, do a BLOG-response to the text.  You can do one of the following, or choose to respond in your own way! 
Response Ideas:
-Make a connection to Dexter or Robin
-What new information did you learn
-I wonder....
-This reminds me of...
-In these chapters, my favorite part was...

I'll be waiting for your response to Dexter, the Tough!  (or is he?)...
Aloha,
Mrs. Wong =)

Realistic Fiction Book Project #1 (Reflections)

Aloha Room 28 'Ohana!
It's been so wonderful to listen and learn about  all the "realistic-fiction" stories you've all been reading!  Mrs. Long and I appreciate the time you put in to completing your book project (puppet and written report).  Please take some time to reflect on your learning when typing in your comment.  Share your thoughts about the first book project.  Share a "STAR" (Something you enjoyed, learned, or just something positive, etc...) and also share a "WISH" (Something you could improve on, or something you didn't enjoy doing, etc...).  We would LOVE to hear your "voices!"  
Mahalo,
Mrs. Wong and Mrs. Long
