Today Mr. Gall said that his teacher in 3rd grade was boring (with the overhead projector.) He shode us what she did. Me and mackenzie said we were redy to fall usleep. O and we also drew Arthur. Mackenzies was the best. -from Alexis' journal
I really liked my aforementioned third grade teacher. She liked to use the overhead projector; and now as a teacher, so do I. However, when I was a third grader, I remember becoming very sleepy when this teacher would dim the lights and use the overhead. Because of this memory, I try extra hard to keep things interesting when I am using the overhead by saying goofy things and over emphasizing my words. Also, my students are usually actively engaged by writing what is on the screen in their word/math tablets. -Mr. Gall

We just started "Marc Brown Month." There are so many Arthur books that we just didn't think one week would be long enough, so we are going to spend closer to a month reading books by Marc Brown. We read Arthur's Halloween today. We also colored Arthur Halloween pictures before our fall party. During the time students had to color, one girl came up to me and asked if I believe in ghosts. I answered with a thoughtful "No, I don't think so." Her reply to me, "Oh yes there is such a thing as ghosts. We contact them at recess."
