Today started off as any day would, we walked into the class. We then wrote down the agenda as Riley read her blog to the class. Then, she chose me to write today's blog. I walked up to the front and sat down as the class was quiet doing CreaTober for the day. We then went over The Outsiders reading from last night. We talked about the fire and how Ponyboy and Johnny saved all those kids. 

This is around the time that everyone's phones went off with the sound of the worldwide alert. After everyone turned it off, we went over the song and lines for the week. We talked about the song and how Leonard Peltier is still in prison. 

We then went over the lines for the week, "Nothing Gold Can Stay." The class thought this poem was about the fact that nothing ever stays the same. We talked about how life and nature are always changing. 

Next, we got our iReady scores passed back and had to set a goal for halfway through the year. We talked about what the iReady score levels meant and what some good goals were before the bell rang and everyone headed off to fourth period.
