    Today's class started off as any class would, we sat down and took out are stuff we would need for the day. Once everyone is seated we started writing the agenda in our binder reminder, and took our mindful minute. Once Ms. Nakada's alarm went off, and Juan Diego started reading his blog to the class. He then chose me to do today's blog and after a moment of confusion I went to the desk to start writing. Ms. Nakada then did blog corrections on Juan's blog. 

    Then everyone took out our reading journals  and flipped to the page that reads Week 3: Quote - Question - Song - Lines. We did not finish annotating the poem last Thursday so we started off with that. Ms. Nakada then read the poem out loud and we started discussing. We talked about gratitude, and how the author seems American. We then talked about rhyme scheme patterns, which is two ending words in a line that rhyme with a line in the middle. 

    After we finished annotating the poem, we took out are Chromebooks and if you did not have one Ms. Nakada had extras. Everyone then quieted down and took the quiz. The quiz was about what we had done last week and consisted of five questions. We could use are notes and the book for our resources. 

    Ms. Nakada then told us to keep our reading journals out and explained our independent reading plans. We have to chose are own book to read and track the pages and time in our reading journals. We then have to do a three word summery about the chapter(s) we read that night. 

We then went to Schoology to take the Star Test, but it was not there! Ms. Nakada then figured out that we have to do I-Ready this year. We clicked on the app and had to watch this annoying video on how to take the test. After the video was done we had to click more demonstrations before we could start. Everyone quieted down again to start this new quiz. We then all clicked out of the quiz, and  Ms. Nakada checked back in all of her chrome books before dismissing us. We then packed up our bags and headed to fourth period. Overall, it was a good day in English Class.
