Physical Education

Today, we were lucky to have nice weather! This allowed us to get more exercise outside. We had a surprise PE class and played some games on the baseball diamond on the big field. The students learned about working as a team to reach a common goal. I was really impressed how all the students were fair with one another and respected the rules of the game.

1.) MATH 6: Any assigned work.
MATH 7: Review and study for your Ch.3 unit test. Chapter 3
Unit test tomorrow!

2.) LA /Novel Approach:

Response Draft #1 must be finished by tomorrow morning.
Make sure you have specific examples to support your points.
Go through your checklist to ensure you have included everything that should be included.

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

Choose a topic that was discussed during the read aloud today and write your thoughts in 100 words or less.
Ask at least one student a questions about their response.
Answer any questions you receive.

One thing we Talked about was grieving like if you lost a loved one like your mom your dad one of your grand parents and you're just being really quiet about it.

@Gamer- I like your post but I think you could add a bit more detail.

did you have any connections to what we talked about in class?

Mr. Hong

@ Gamer - Please elaborate on your post so you can clarify for your readers.

@Gamer, You should add more information and describe how you would feel if you had lost a loved one in your family.

Today we talked about how losing someone very close to you can make you very quite and sad. Sometimes when you get in trouble or someone hurts your feelings don't you go quite? So if someone is quite make sure you ask them if everything is okay and try not to be pushy. P.S if that person is usually quite don't make them think that they look depressed or sad because they might be hurt by that.

I like how your post it has a good tip in it but you spelled quiet quite multiple times

One topic that we talked about in today's read-aloud is how you would feel if you lost someone you loved. Firstly, if I lost a close friend or a member of my family, I would feel pretty sad and depressed, and miss them a lot. Secondly, you wouldn't have the things that you used to have when they were there like home made food. I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the main character right now.

if you were in the cataracts shoes how would you feel?

@Butterflypuppy, Characters* is what you had meant to say.

V.2KX

4/9/2014 01:58:23 pm

@butterflypuppy - If I were in the characters' shoes, I would take them right off because I wouldn't want to be in the situation.

One thing we talked about grieving and how we all do it. Well the story of my grieving has been happening sense I was 8 and it was my best friend. It was 10:00 at night on my birthday and he died in hes moms arms with my parents 5 feet away. So i have been grieving this whole time and i don't like talking about it. So yeah that's it I guess.

Gooner

4/9/2014 11:33:58 am

that's a really sad story. I think maybe you should go over it and change the spelling mistakes.

Pancake

4/9/2014 02:59:15 pm

@Princesa
I'm very sorry that must have been very hard for you. Did you grieve the same way as Willow did?

cloud barston

4/9/2014 10:03:13 am

In class today we talked about how sad people get when they loose a loved one and how some times when you are sad you go quiet. I can't imagine being the main character in counting by sevens because she lost her parents twice and she feels like she has changed entirely. i can't imagine what it would feel to be her.

Mr. Hong link

4/9/2014 01:18:40 pm

@ Cloud Barston - Can you understand why she is struggling to function like a normal kid? If you were in her shoes, how do you think you would behave?

cloud barston

4/9/2014 01:44:57 pm

I think she is not functioning like a normal person because she feels like she doesn't know what to do. If I was her, I think that I would not want to do anything because I would be very sad.

Oracle

4/9/2014 02:59:30 pm

@cloud barston, was there anything that had happened in the book that relates to losing someone you care about?

cloud barston

4/10/2014 12:55:23 pm

@ oracle, yes my grandparents dogs passed away. one was named sammy and the other was named frankie. sammy died first from cancer and frankie died a couple years after from old age. when sammy died I was very sad because me and sammy were very close. when frankie died I was also very sad because those two dogs had been around my whole life but then they where gone.

One thing we talked about was when someone close to you dies or something dies you fell sad. I know because we had to put our cat down a few weeks ago but since my cat hated me, everyone and she I was not really attached to her also she was not happy and old, like 15 and we did not want her to suffer so we put her down. But one the other hand my brother cried and cried for 20-30 minutes and I really felt bad for him. 91 words!

@Cookielover - Do you still miss your cat right now?

Theoverseeker

@anyone what were you reading about I would like to know otherwise I can't do the P.A.R

V.2KX

4/9/2014 10:14:42 am

@Theoverseeker - I think that you should ask Mr. Hong to skip this post or you can probably read others' responses and learn about it.

Yogi Bear

4/9/2014 10:20:05 am

The one thing I remember us talking about was loosing a loved one or losing someone really close to you and how it would make you feel. If I lost someone like my mom or my dad, I would be REALLY sad because my mom and dad are always there for me and always helping me with whatever I do. I wouldn't even be able to imagine my life without my parents.

Mr. Hong link

4/9/2014 01:19:46 pm

@ Yogi Bear - I agree with you. My parents have always helped me with everything I have ever done and I owe them a lot. I don't know what I would do without them. I'm happy that they are in good health and that I talk to them every day!

ATV BOY

4/9/2014 10:34:37 am

I remember us talking about loosing someone if I lost anyone in my family I would be super sad because they are always there for me when I need the help. Also I would be sad because they would be the first person that was still alive after I was born "Cross Fingers". I would also be super sad if anyone in my house died because they are the people that I see everyday and they are the people that help me when I am sick or stuck on Homework.

SAM

4/9/2014 01:04:10 pm

@ATV BOY, I can really agree with you because of how they are almost always there for you when you need them most.

ATV BOY

If I were to go back into the Mesopotamia time I would like to see what people actually did on a regular basis also if I were there I would act my best to everyone and hope that my parents do nothing bad so the consequences will come upon me.

Greg Heffley

4/9/2014 10:50:47 am

I remember talking about losing someone we loved. I would be extremely sad if I lost a parent. I don't exactly know what I would do. Family is always there for you and then all of a sudden they are gone? I would react similar to the way willow did. I would probably stay in school though so I would have some support from friends but at home I would be awful. I would want to stay in my house so I would have something to remember them by. But like I said I don't know what I would do.

Butterflypuppy

4/9/2014 11:02:26 am

One thing we talked about was if someone close to you died or an animal of your dies that you would feel sad. I lost a family member of mine and that family member is my Nana (My dads mom) and she passes away when I was almost 2 and died from cancer, ever since them it has been really hard on my dad and I especially when we go to Ontario and see her grave. and the animal of mine that had died was my cat Phoenix, my cat meant so much to my and my dad first got him for me when I was 4 and a year or 2 ago my dad put him down because her used to scratch me and hurt me but i still loved him and one day he scratched my face them my dad put him down the next day without letting me say goodbye. :(

Yes I was very upset when I got home from school and the only animal I own and loved was not there.

In the book "Counting by sevens", we talked about the part where Willows parents died in a car accident. I can kind of unspderstand why she doesn't care talk or have emotion now because she was so shocked and that was a traumatic expreince for her. If I ever lost my parents or close family, I would feel really depressed and probably wouldn't want to talk that much either. They are the people who I am always with, and whatever I do I know they'll always be there for me. I don't know what I would do without my family and parents.

Gooner

4/9/2014 11:42:14 am

For the book we were talking about how her parents got into a car crash. I connected to that because once my uncles girlfriend got into a car crash and she really hurt her back. Also a different book I think its called Witches or something and the boys parents died in a car accident. Really I had so many connections when we were talking about this but I will list just one more. We (Haylie (My stepsister) and Michelle ( My step mom) And I) Drove to Alberta. We were in a town just getting out of or hotel that we slept in for the night and Haylie realised that she forgot her braclet. We spent about 10 minutes looking for it but we couldent. So as we were driving out of the town, there was this BIG car accident. The person there said it happened about 15 minutes ago. We were so lucky because that could have been us if Haylie hadent lost her braclet.

SAM

4/9/2014 01:02:54 pm

When we where reading Counting by sevens and talking about losing some one you know and that it could be very hard to get over what had happened when she lost her parents in a fatal car crash. I never did have much connection with this topic because I have never know of anyone I know getting very injured and or unto death. But I can really imagine of how hard it would be to forget about it and feel sad and depressed just like Willow was when she was describing her feelings and saying how she could not count by seven anymore nor seem to see color and mainly seeing life as a deep dark place all shaded up.

Spongebob

4/9/2014 01:12:11 pm

Today something we talked about was losing someone very close to you. We talked about how it made us sad and quiet. It is always hard to get over a heartbreaking thing like that. In the story Willow lost her parents, she basically never talks anymore because she is depressed about the loss of her adopted parents, and to add on top of that, she is being falsely accused of cheating on a test, which is never a good feeling.

Loki

4/11/2014 01:06:04 am

Good post but, can you relate? Has anyone you know and or love died?

Bobby Orr

4/9/2014 01:13:50 pm

Today we talked about losing someone like family or a friend, either is hard because you have created a bond with them and suddenly it just broke because of death you will never get to say goodbye and say hello again. I have lost someone before it was my grandpa he was so nice and fun to be around and when the news got to us we were devastated.

Gaia

4/9/2014 01:59:38 pm

Today we talked about how it was hard to lose a family member (mom,dad,sibling,pet ect.) or close friends, I find this hard because you are very close with them expecting they will always be their and have this very strong bond. When they die that bond is almost gone at first (then you realize it is still their just... Different) and it's really hard not having their presence anymore

Today during read aloud we talked about Willow being a vegetarian, just like me. People always ask if it's hard to be one, but I honestly don't think it is. I have been one since I was little, so it doesn't seem different or special to me at all. The only times I feel like an oddball is at friend's houses and birthday parties. The platters of food almost always include some sort of meat. I think it's great that including something about vegetarians in Counting by Sevens, because most people I talk to have no idea what it is.

jumpergirl

I Would be so sad if someone I loved passed away and then someone else that was a close friend passed too that would be hard for me and I can't believe that she didn't hurt herself or breakdown.
On spring break my auntie, my grandma, my cousin, dog and me went on a walk and my dog, being a 1 year old, bolted and threw my grandma on her side and her head got hurt bad and she went to the hospital and my cousin and I were scared.

My grandma is okay though and so was my dog.

Today we talked about loosing someone like your parents, your pet, or someone close with you. 5years ago, my great grandmother past away. I was so sad and disappointed. She always played with me, and gave me many candies, also she taught me lots of fun things. I miss her. It is really hard when someone die who is close with you.

Pancake

4/9/2014 02:56:22 pm

Today in the read aloud we talk about losing someone close to you and how hard it can be. Willow was very quiet and sad like I was when my dog Sunny passed away. It was the summer going into grade 3 and he passed away. He was very old but I had him as a pet before I was born. I understand why Willow was so sad because I would be to.

Oracle

4/9/2014 02:57:05 pm

Today in class we discussed about losing someone you cared about or known, for example a pet, your family, friends, pretty much everyone you'd care about.I already had lost a pet I cared about, her name was Kiera and she was my pet bunny, she ran away one day and we lost her and I can't stop thinking about that every time. If I lost more people I care about then things in my life would be very hard.

Juliette

Today in class we talked about how tragic Losing a loved one can really be. Nobody really thinks of it until it happens to them or a friend. Also when people lose their main role model or parent figure it would be absolutely devastating. Especially losing not just one BUT TWO loved ones at the same time. I dont know what i would do if one of my parents were to become ill or die. My mom and dad cook food for me, they make sure I have a safe environment, Make sure i'm doing well in school, make money to pay for shelter, clean water, Heat etc... My connection to the story was how in grade.6 my dad found out he had cancer. I can only imagine How his parents and brothers felt. One day he met this boy who was a little older and they became friends because they both had cancer and enjoyed similar things. They were put in the same room together until the boy got worse and my dad didn't understand. The nurse told him the boy had to get more surgery and would be completely fine. After that the boy didn't come back. My dad eventually found out what happened and lost all hope little did he know within a few months his cancer would do away and he would become a survivor and have an amazing life with a daughter and a wife who loved him. I can only imagine how Willow feels because she has lost not just one pair of parents.. but two.

Today we talked about losing someone or something close to you, and how it would make you feel if it happened to you, and the process of grieving for someone after something horrible had happened.

Ichigo

4/10/2014 01:33:25 am

While we talked about losing a loved one, it made me connect to how my mom grieved when my great grandma died. It was quite horrible news for my mom. This was only a year ago, and I have a pretty young family so my great grandma died at like 69 only last year. My mom said it had to be the worst day of her life, so the whole family tried to comfort her. But my great grandma's daughter (My grandma) was the most devastated. Thats all my mom told me.

What it would be like to go back to Mesopotamia is it would be so much less of an advanced world as we have today, it would be almost scary. There would be no electronics, no cars, nothing. No schools, no jobs, the only food would be farm food. It would be so much harder then life today.

I will post it in the right section for you.

Fish stick

I think it would be (1) nice because you would know what all of the peoples names who live around you and (2) scary because the laws are so severe that even if you made a mistake you would get an ear cut of or a whipping.

Loki

4/11/2014 01:01:45 am

In class we had talked about death and sadness but I really can't relate to that because I have not really experienced death with a family member. Only once I have experienced this and that was when my great grandma died but I never really met her so I wasn't all that upset and also she was really old and she lived a good life so that was good.
