Starting the week of 26th of October all student will be required to write a number of sentences in journal form. I will randomly ask students to read their journal entries in class. Students will also be required to turn in these entries to me. This means that I need to be able to read your hand writing. If I can not read your writing you will be asked to do it again and you will lose points. Papers should have your name your class and the date the entry is due on them.

American class blog: http://rosaparksmissnelson.edublogs.org/
Please go to the blog site and answer the questions posted by the students. It will be good for you to interact with American children even if they are younger than you. I would ask you to think of your little brothers and sisters and how they would feel if they could ask American questions about America and have them answered. You don't have to answer all their questions just one or two. They posted their questions on October 6th so please take a little time to go there and respond to these kids. You can go to their blog site and click on the link “Wondering about Romania” and be able to see and respond to their questions or go to “Romanian Responses” to leave questions of your own.Thank you in advance, your responses will mean a lot to these children.
