At the beginning of class Mr. Watson explained why he had dressed differently today. The word of the day was Blake today. First we went over our vocabulary homework that we did last night. Then Rajan shared his summary. Then we talked about what happened in the chapters. (We went into deep thought).
Ella had an argument with Mr. Watson about the Japanese in America helping the Japanese that were bombing. Ella surprisingly got Mr. Watson to take her side.
“Does anyone remember the scene when Tomi and his mother went to the grocery store?” he asked.
This made the class go wild, and hands went up right away.
Mr. Watson makes a chart on the board explaining why the Americans chose to shoot any boats that came into Pearl Harbor without an American flag.
Mr. Watson says that the government very rarely admits they made a mistake and then tries to fix it.
The homework is Chapters 14 and 15 and do your job and journal. And vocabulary pages 33 and 34. If you are number one for jobs you are word wizard 3 questions, if you are number two you are summarizer, if you are number three you are discussion director (short questions 2 and fat questions 2 ), if you are number four you are connecter, if you are number five you are the illustrator, and if you are number six you are passage master. Have a great weekend students and teachers. J (Reminder we have a vocabulary assessment on Wednesday).
No school Monday!

hi, people! :) :) :)
Aloha from Hawaii! My sixth grade students in Honolulu, Hawaii have read "Under the Blood Red Sun" and will be reading the companion novel "House of the Red Fish" this month.
Mr. Watson, would you be interested in collaborating together on a class project together?
We would love to. I'm not sure what you have in mind, but send your contact info. and we'll chat.
Best way to get me is through email at cwatson@steds.org
