Isaiah,
I got your email regarding the graph that you need to draw. When you return to school, ask Mrs. Kaneshiro for the handout showing the class data for the M&M activity. She will give you instructions on how to make a graph showing the class results. Also, I left Thursday and Friday's homework on the office counter. If you have questions, you can respond on the blog. I hope you are feeling better.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz :)

Hi Isaiah!
I got both of your previous emails. For the math graphing, please ask Mrs. Kaneshiro for specific directions on how to complete the graph. For your second question regarding the Kid Biz article, you can copy it and paste it into a word document. The other alternative is to print the article out. Also, was your mother able to pick up Thursday and Friday's homework? Let me know. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz :)

Hi Keely!
Thank you for your question. For the first Lesson, draw a colored picture of who you think the person is based upon the descriptions given. You should draw the descriptions you wrote about in your S-E-E answer.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz :)

Dear Mrs. Dela Cruz,
For the summary that we are supposed to do with our cornell note taking I wanted to know what the cornell note taking actually was or if it is just the notes we took on New England & the Middle & Southern colonies.

Dear Mrs. Dela Cruz,
For the home work that we are supposed to draw a colored picture showing the details given from the story, about that, I don't have the story "No Place Like Home." So I also am not able to complete the questions. Also for the science, I dont' know what words to write the definition for & what page they're on. Finally for the social studies I am able to study but I do not have any feedback or assesments to revise my essay with.

Sincerely,
Isaiah I.Emosi

Isaiah,
Thank you for your email. For the Science words, look at November 5th Science homework. It lists all of the words. You need to write the definition and give an example. Also, Friday's homework was creating a food chain with species that can be found in Hawaii.
For the reading, do you have the Making Inferences handouts #1 and #2. The Story "No Place Like Home is on the second page. You need to complete both handouts and draw a colored picture for each of your S-E-E answers. Use the details you wrote about. You mother picked up the homework assigned on Thursday and Friday yesterday with these handouts in it.
For the Social Studies, study for tomorrow's exam. You missed the lecture that we had but you can study what you learned from the handouts on the different regions (N. England, Southern and Middle Colonies). As far as feedback for your essay, I will have a criteria sheet you can use during the test that will help you organize your information.
If you have any other questions, send them to me via the blog. I will check it tonight at 7:30 p.m.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Dear Mrs. Dela Cruz

I can't find my drawing paper so can you give me some at class so I can do it in class.

Sincerely,
Tyler

Tyler,
Thank you for your email. Do you have any blank paper (folder paper size) at home? If you do, fold it in half horizontally and you can use those 2 sheets for your first and second drawing. Remember to include the details you wrote about in your S-E-E response. Also, please color the pictures neatly. The pictures should be large to cover the entire space.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz :)
