Good Morning 5KP thrill-seekers…

Did you all do your morning jobs??? Or were you all too excited once you saw the instructions on the board? If so, GET BACK TO THOSE JOBS, hand those forms in and get ORGANIZED!

Here are your instructions for after you are ready for the day, PAY SOMEONE A COMPLIMENT NOW, yes, NOW, as soon as you are reading this, call out (politely) to someone else in the room and tell them something nice, DO IT!

Then…

Make sure you have saved your work in the ‘For Mrs Power’ folder, save it in word if you are having any difficulty and remember to save as “Final Narrative Kimbra” Carl B, Patricia, keep typing please, do not go on to the tasks below until that document is IN MY FOLDER, that goes for all of you!

Then…

Open the front and back end of your blog. Go into your ‘Nicholas’ entry to edit it. Open a new tab, google ‘Nicholas’ and find a picture of the book cover, or any of the covers or something relevant to the book. Copy by right clicking and saying ‘copy image location’ then go back to your back end and click on ‘add media’. If you are stuck now, ask someone for help, I know some of you know how to do this already.

When you have done that. Go to add a new post. Take out your reader’s notebook and choose one of the entries I have written comments in for you. Type up that entry under the heading ‘Reader’s Notebook’ and make sure you add any improvements or suggestions I have made and that you correct all errors.

Now, go to this site, http://www.overhereoverthere.com/ and I want all the falcons and dolphins in the class (if you are not sure which you are check here) to comment on a post Sydney has written, and all of the bears and pumas to comment on a post Hannah has written. Be positive and maybe suggest something else you would like them to write about. These girls are 4th graders now but they are friends that have known each other since pre-k 4 and have remained friends even though they now live half way around the world from each other; be supportive and encouraging and check your spelling before you hit ‘comment’.

IF you have done all of that, and only then, you may have some free blogging time, if you HAVE NOT finished, please do so over the weekend.

Maddie, don’t forget to take Shadow home today in the small cage, clean it out first and I have put a small zip-lock bag of food in there for him and you can also give him some vegetables etc, but not too much. The most important thing is water. You can take the ball home but please bring it back (and Shadow, on Monday.) Ask Patricia, Claire or Ingrid if you need any help and Carl B and Mike have also got ‘hamster experience’. Good Luck!

Have a great donut/brownie eating experience today and a wonderful weekend. Be good for Mr B please, very very good!

Happy Birthday to Claire and Thomas for the weekend.
