Soo good

You guys have been getting so good at blogging! Your comments are getting smarter, you are paying attention to other people's comments more - way to go! Keep blogging yourselves and I will keep reading. Many of you have lots to write about - so keep thinking and keep writing. Nice job!

Another good thing -- I want you guys to do something nice for Ms. Sevimli before she goes. (shhh...don't tell her). Each class should get together and think of something they could do/buy/celebrate to thank her for all her hard work while I was away. Make sure it is unexpected though and something you all think she would like. I know I always like food, so start with that.

Things You Hate

What do you hate about reading?

A Good Reader

As you read you should always have a pen or pencil in hand and always be taking notes, underlining things and really having a written dialogue with the book as you read.

Start underlining all the words you are not sure of as you read. Then -- when you decide you can't read anymore, go to a dictionary and look those words up. Doing this type of exercise will really help with your vocabulary.

I did something similar to this the other day except I was reading a package instead of a book. I learned that "hassas" means damaged.
