Day 5-Quiz, NBA, and Reading

 Hello parents and students,

We had our first quiz today in class with a key focus on vocabulary. This quiz was created not only to test students' knowledge but also to give me a feeling for students' strengths and weaknesses. Students have proven that they are capable and that there is room for improvement for all of us.

Since this is our first quiz together, the grading will be on the easier side of it and I will add ten points to the total score once students do their quiz corrections with a blue pen and show them to me.

After we got done with the quiz, we briefly went over the history of the NBA and we did some more reading from the Reading Street text "The Man who Invented Basketball" and did an activity about James Naismith's childhood years. We will finish up this reading and some pages of the Readers and Writer's Notebook next week prior to the test on next Friday.

Thanks for reading,

Brenden Peppo.

Day 8-More Reading Activities and Reminder to Bring the Books

 Hello parents, We continued to read through the book's text about how the Canadian James Naismith created the sport of basketball for his PE students in Massachusetts, USA, and how it spread to locals, students nationwide, and was also quickly adopted by women. James' wife was a woman who played the sport that he invented before they even met. While his students were originally reluctant to try a new sport, they quickly changed their minds and stopped grumbling. It's an inspiring story, and it seems that students are enjoying it. As for our homework, I told students that they have two days to finish it. 1. Write Week 3's Vocabulary Words x2 (#1-25) (Finish by Friday) 2. Optional: Chinese Translation 3. Finish the reading in Reading Street (Pages 30-39) Also, please remind students to bring the book to class every day.

Day 12-"Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest" Introduction, Expository Text, Homework, and Sensay

 Hello students and parents, Today, we went over the first couple of pages on the text and I asked students to write down the word "expository text" with the definition being "gives information about the real world" for further study since it might be useful later on. After that, we talked about the preliminary parts of their "Scavenger Hunt" worksheet for bookwork/homework. I assigned it for homework today. Also, I added the "Ten Important Sentences" onto the Sensay website so please use it as a way to practice speaking and the sentences that I'll utilize for next week's test. They might also be helpful for the Scavenger Hunt worksheet so check them out.  As for homework: 1. Write Week 4 Vocabulary words 15-25 x2 + definitions (x1) 2. Optional: Chinese translations 3. Scavenger Hunt worksheet (finish by next Friday 9/27) 4. Recommended: Sensay "Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest" Ten Important Sentences practice
