Hi Mrs. Lancaster,
I thought that power planning was really fun today and definitely not a snore. I thought that the jigsaw activity was fun because we got to go with other people and work on vocabulary with our letter and number groups. I would probably change the way we looked up the vocabulary like not in the buckle down books. That’s the only thing I would change about the jigsaw activity. I liked the way we changed people and got to work with different classmates. I think that the way we look up the vocabulary needs to improve. Like make it funner with our group. I thought that Tim’s song for Sydney was really cool and really good rap and meaning. Okay, so I’ll see you in class! =)

I liked the activity. I Would change how much people participated. The song wasn’t really my favorite. I don’t like M&M at all.

Power planing was alright today. It wasnt as bad as it has been though. The jigsaw was alright it was pretty fun, we got to work together and I always like working together. I would change not having alot of tips because it takes a very long time to put all of that info into your own words. I would also like time when we would get into our 2nd group because we have to copy so much into the graph. I like when we got into 2 different groups, the 1st one to put the tips into our own words and the 2nd one to give the info that we had. Less tips and more time for the 2nd group is what I would change. I liked the song also.

P.S. I’m soooo happy that my sis/ bff Lauren is back!!!

I thought that the lesson today was OK. I liked that we got to change groups but my secong group couldn’t concentrate. Other than that it was pretty fun. I liked that we had time to read in the zone at the end.

I thought that it was a good lesson. I would not change anything. I liked that we got to switch groups. Nothing needs improvement.

I liked the jigsaw puzzle lesson that we did. I wouldn’t change anything. Nothing needs to be improved. I really like the theme song.

Dear Mrs. Lancaster I thought that the song was good and i think it was cool that John Michael sang all of it but when we got in our groups it wasn’t as easy to trade information with so many people a little harder to concentrate and the normal groups are a little better organizied. But overall it was a cool day

I did like the jigsaw activity. I didn’t like it as much as the other activities we did though. I wouldn’t get the words from the buckle down book. I know it’s accurate but really boring! I do like the fact that we can move around with different people. It’s fun to not be with the same people for the whole time that we do the activity! I think some of the fun level should be worked on. Maybe we could do something different but at the same time get what we’re saying across. This game Family Feud was on T.V. and you probably seen it and we could be on team and answer questions like what is a multiple-meaning word? Ask Mr. Wolfe about it. He’s the science teacher. I always had fun with that! It is a great song, I totally LOVE that song. Also John-Micheal singing with it was sooooooo cool. It is a song that really made me sad but at the same time it was the perfect song! Don’t forget about my song please!

I agree Springy, It WAS cool how I sung the whole song. The lesson was coolio joe. I give you one free pass to hear me sing, just tell me when you want to use it.
