HW: RJ 1.3 School Trip p. 52 - 75

     Today we came into class after a very hot nutrition, after sitting down we began class with Box breathing, after a minute of silence and doodling, Charles began reading out his blog. He went through everything that happened in class like the Eight Grade letters and School Trip. After he was done reading he chose to select me as the new blog writer. We then began doing blog corrections. We went through Charles' blogs for any errors in spelling and grammar. We then began to talk about School Trip and Jordan's family dynamics. We talked about protective parents and things that they might do and why that's the worst. We talked about how his father is very loving and doesn't really have a sense of when and where to show affection. His mother on the other hand is a different kind of protective where she wants to get him out there and doesn't really approve of how his father is protective of him, but if someone messed with him she'd go full mama bear.

    We then went over a summary of what we had read in class and wrote down in our reading journal of how much we had read. We  pulled out our letters to Ms. Nakada to either turn them in or keep working on them. Ms. Nakada then collected all the finished papers, and told the people who hadn't finished to keep the papers and that we would work on tomorrow. Also, we got a point due to the donation. Ms. Nakada then introduced the class to Quote Questions, something we would do every week. The quote of the week was "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." The quote was by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who the school is named after. The class then began to talk about our own impressions of the quote.
