The Wanderer 23-26

Well first of all Mr. Watson came around the room and checked if we did our jobs and journal responses our grammar and if we had our name in our wanderer books. During this Emily Z. told a joke… “Why did the chicken cross the road? Because he felt like it. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! There was a standing ovation and cheers exploded everywhere. After that we checked over our grammar papers making sure we checked over carefully and followed along because it was in the same form as our test would be. By the way, there is a BRIEF grammar quiz tomorrow. Extra help is at 3:30 today. After going over our grammar we took out our job and journal responses and Mr. Watson told us to put our cursors right under our J.R. and get ready to write… I wonder what he’ll make us write… We wrote in our own opinion what we think the three most important things that we think happened in Chapters 23-26. We had a very deep discussion about the things we thought were the most important things in these chapters. Most everyone thought that uncle Stew losing his job was one of the most important things. Which brings up yet another mystery. What is Uncle Stew’s job and why did he get fired. Then we talked about how you can’t always be what you want. Then Mr. Watson talked about how he became a teacher. After that Johnny shared his job and we talked about how it was a good omen. Something that happens that is regarded as a sign of how somebody or something will fare in the future. A few other people shared their jobs and or journal responses and then we wrapped it up with a small conversation about diving and boats. Mr. Watson also reminded us about our grammar quiz so…. DON”T FORGET!! Even though it should be very brief and easy. We also went over our schedules. In result, Friday is the last day to turn in your revised essays and chapters 27-32 job and j.r. We also talked about how the reading will be in a little larger chunks now in order for us to finish before Christmas.
