-HW: RJ 6.1 Read for 20-30 minutes and record 

    Today's third period English started off by Ms. Nakada assigning everyone a new seat.  When everyone settled into their seat, the one minute meditation video projected onto the board. Some people also decided to take the minute to draw or read a book.  When that was done, people took out their binder reminders and wrote the agenda for today. Kingsley was called up to the front of the class to read his blog from Friday. He then made an awful choice to pick me. Then, Ms. Nakada told us to take out our journals and write down the layout for Week 6 reading journals. She also mentioned that we will soon start reading The Outsiders after we finish our book projects. After that, we turned to our table of contents and wrote down "Week 6: Quote, Question, Song, Lines" Then, there was a quick detour on the lesson to talk about Sesame Street, specifically about Elmo. We watched a short clip of Elmo and Cristo Fernandez on Instagram. 

    Soon after, we turned back to our "Week 6: Q.Q.S.L"  The quote for the week is " Orgulloso means proud in Spanish. I am orgulloso being Latino, orgulloso being from Mexico, and orgulloso being me."-Cristo Fernandez. Everyone wrote down, and some shared, what they are proud of. We moved on to the question of the week: How can we celebrate Latin American Heritage month? We agreed that we can acknowledge the celebration, learn various cultures, read Latin American authors, and so on. Some people mentioned that they lost their streak on Duolingo. 

    After that, Ms. Nakada then gave us extra time to read or work on book projects that are due on Wednesday, September 20. Ms. Nakada then warned everyone that the bell was about to ring in a few minutes. Everyone packed up and headed off the fourth period.
