Today in class, the students had a JOURNAL ENTRY: What was the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you in your life.
They were also allowed to finish working on their SSR Vocab for the first 10 minutes of class. After they finished the SSR vocab, we began reading Chapter 4 (nutrition) as a group. We read the 1st lesson and down to Fiber. The students were asked to list in their summary log some of the bullet statements from the chapter. 

Get ready to get your TAYLOR SWIFT ON!  You know what's up!

Today the students had to turn in their blog online quiz assignment today. We also had SSR today with the students finding 10 unfamiliar words to define and use in sentences. If they didn't finish they will have 10 minutes tomorrow to finish.

Today the students had a Nutrition Pre-test that we took after they finished their JOURNAL ENTRY: I read them the story of Sean O'Hair and his abusive dad, and asked them to respond to the story. 
I reminded the students that their vocab is listed on the blog and is DUE on Friday. Also that the blog assignment is due to my inbox by 1st period tomorrow morning -NO exceptions. I went over the directions once again on how to get to this via the blog's directions. 
I also mentioned to them the idea of me purchasing their book review books from them if they decide they don't want to hold on to them after they've initially read them. At a hugely discounted price of course! :)  And I suggested they check out Bookman's and Goodwill for the titles that may fit their fancy.  We are doing SSR tomorrow, so the students should have books in hand and be ready to go.  There just might be another book check. (wink wink, nudge nudge)

Today the students had a Journal Entry: Have you ever been made to feel that you were treated unfairly (profiled) because of who you were with, what you were wearing, for the color of your skin or for your age.  How did that make you feel?
