Reviewing the Day

Science
Congratulations on  your performance in Science. Mrs. Clayton was so impressed by your class contributions and ideas. Keep it up!

Math
Key Concept - Remember, that your Math Reference Book and Student Journal (when used correctly and interchangeably) are smarter than your teacher!

Reading
Congratulations Emma on your use of  H.O.T.S. (Higher Order Thinking Skills) when talking about your reading in class today! Remember, anybody can talk about what they are reading, is is your ability to talk intellectually about your reading that will make you stand out!

Writing
We will continue the writing prompt in class tomorrow.

H/W

Up North
I come from the city of maple leafs and the smell of maple syrup in the morning.
I come from a place where pucks fly up the frozen lake.
I come from the town of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
I am from the show with a big bang.
I come from Big Ben, cookies and Tea.
I come from Boston pizza and saucy pasta.
I come from the city in the west side of town.
I come from the city of Niagara wonder.
I come from a place of barns and windmills.
I come from a place of wet rainy skies.
I`m from a Maple Leafs strive.

I live in only one season: the hot, sunny season of summer.
Mr. Buxton, do I need the comma after hot in that sentence?

Maddy Z said...

What do you mean by "test", Mr. Buxton?

Unknown said...

Maddy,

We will study this later...Basically, you must decide if the adjectives are coorinate or cumulative adjectives

coordinate - you can swop them around and the sentence make sense
hot,sunny and sunny, hot
(if you can swap them - then you need the comma. if you can't swop them, then you don't need the adjectives.) You decide.. can they be swaped?

Harrison - are leafs an irregular plural? hot tea or afternoon tea?
last line is weak. how many proper nouns and adjectives do you have?

Scott, don't worry about H/W - just do it over the w/end

Maya - saying 'I like' doesn't provide any info. Be more specific about what you liked e.g. his use of the Maple leave ( it mad e me visualize Canada.

All posts must be signed or they will be removed!

my internet was down

and i meant 'coordinate'

Maddy Z said...

Thanks for the help! I will definitely start to sign my comments.
Maddy

When i say 'signed', I mean that if your sign in name is your name that is OK. You don't have to rewrite your name again at the bottom of the post. It is for people who have sign in names that are obsecure eg. spacels360

Maddy Z said...

Oh, Ok. Thanks.

Here is my poem Mr. Buxton
A Strange World
By Nakul Sharma

I'm from the Red Fort to the India Gate
From the boiling hot to the freezing cold
From Deepak and Pratima who also have an Annoying older daughter

I'm from where there's beggars on the streets and Blood in the air
From where the greatest civilizations began
From where cultural activity too

I'm also from Nihaarika one of the most annoying yet Helpful sister in the world
I'm from the polite to the rude
From the brave to the scared

I'm from the ones with no education, to the ones With plenty
From where people die for their country
From where people outsmart the world

Up North

I come from the city of maple leafs and the smell of maple syrup in the air.
I come from a place where pucks fly up the frozen lake.
I come from the town of the original Hockey Hall of Fame.
I am from the show with a big bang.
I come from Big Ben, cookies and afternoon Tea.
I come from Boston pizza and saucy pasta.
I come from the city in the west side of town.
I come from the city of Niagara wonder.
I come from a place of barns and windmills.
I come from a place of wet rainy skies.
I’m from a balmy Maple Leaf stride.
