Mrs. Dela Cruz,
Are we allowed to change our poem for What Am I or stick with the same thing?

Mrs. DC,

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Hi Erin!
You can do a person in our classroom. Make sure the clues you give are specific so people can accurately identify that person.

Dear ?,
For the article that I gave you on Friday, take notes on it. It will help you when you revise your Cause and Effect essay.

I will be giving you reading comprehension questions on the handout on Tuesday. I am using all Social Studies homework questions as well as reading questions for your reading grade this quarter.

Sincerely,
Mrs. D.C.

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Hi Zoe!
If you are writing the riddle poem, it should be at least 6 lines. For the cinquain, follow the criteria sheet.

Sincerely,
Mrs. D.C.

Mrs. DC,
On the science paper it says to draw a native and alien species. The person said that they didn't bring any native species...so do we just put the alien species and say that there weren't any native species or do we put 2 alien species in place of the native?

Dear Mrs. Dela Cruz,
Is it going to be a pink slip if you don't take notes?

Mrs. Dela CRUZ,

Dear Mrs. Dela Cruz,
I accidentally forgot to get the oil paper! Is it a pink slip or do we still have time to get the paper?
The science people didn't share any native species nor did they say if they're native or alien? Can you help with that?

From,
Zoe

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Hi Kenneth!
We will be reading the article tomorrow because you will be assigned reading comprehension questions. Try to take notes on it because it will help you when you revise your essay and answer the reading comprehension questions.

Sincerely,
Mrs. D.C. :)

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Hi Zoe!
If you didn't take the Oil handout, don't worry. I will be having the entire class read it tomorrow and you will complete reading comprehension questions. Also, the information you read will help you when you make revisions to your Cause and Effect essay.

For the Science handout, write down as your answer that you were not told by the Iolani students if it was native or alien species.

Sincerely,
Mrs. D.C.

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Dear ?
The revised and typed cause and effect essay will be due on Friday. Please begin your revisions because tomorrow is already Tuesday. If you took the handout on my chair on Friday, it will give you important facts on how much oil the United States uses each year.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Yes, if there wasn't any native species, just draw 1 alien species on back and color it.
