Ah, the moral of a great Dr. Seuss book. "Try them! Try them! And you may. Try them and you may I say!" Green Eggs and Ham fit beautifully with our story from Jackie's Nine about determination today. That Sam-I-Am... he was one determined soul.
Today was ISAT, Day 1. Students took a science section of the test today. Tomorrow, they will take a reading section and the second science section.
We are also having Crazy Sock Day tomorrow. I will be bringing in Fox in Socks and attempting to read it to the class. Those who would like to participate are welcome to wear some "odd" socks, if they wish. Friday is PJ day. Those who earn free time will be watching Horton Hears a Who. That wraps up a week about the joy (and comfort) of reading.
In class today, students finished their "What is Freedom?" essays for the VFW Auxiliary contest. They were also offered the same challenge as Dr. Seuss: write a story using less than 50 different words (this was the challenge his publishers gave him; he ended up writing Green Eggs and Ham). They could repeat words, but they had to stick with their list of 50 or less.
