4 Means....
This is VERY RARE! You should have fireworks and "Hallelujah" choruses singing in your heads. The is SO FAR ABOVE what I would expect at 5th grade! Not many 4's are given out, especially during 1st Quarter!
3 Means...
You are doing EXACTLY what I would hope you can and should do. You should be feeling
pretty darn good about yourself. Proud, proud, proud is how you should feel and give yourself a nice pat on the back for a "job well done."
2 Means...
You have good days with this skill and you have some "not so good" days with this skill. Sometimes you do it, and sometimes you don't. It could be that you're not putting in 100% effort, or it could be you don't understand it very well yet. You're getting there though.
1 Means...
Something needs to change. This should be a conversation you have with parents, teachers and most importantly, yourself. Are you not trying at all? Are you not learning from mistakes? Or is this a truly challenging skill that you want to improve on and will do what you need to for some progress.
Overall, I feel like several 3's and even 4's (that's pretty amazing) were earned during the 1st quarter. I'm excited for you to chat more at conferences. Be sure your parents see that orange note in the envelopes, too. Also, be sure they see that YOU are included in our conferences coming up in about 3 weeks. Remember, it's pretty silly to have a conference about YOU without.... hmmm? YOU! Right?
I'll know you checked the blog tonight if you read what NYC 5B has done to our story, "The Graveyard Boogie." Read it and tell me in the morning what you liked BEST about their middle section and what SURPRISED you the most! I was shocked at where the story went.
This first line was from us....
Then, they saw HIM... a singing, dancing skeleton doing the graveyard boogie!
Suddenly the skeleton decided to stop and grabbed one of the teenagers and started to waltz. 1...2..3…… 1...2...3…… 1….2….3. Then the skeleton spun the girl around and around in a never ending spiral. As she was twirling, her skin dissolved slowly exposing her white skull and little by little the rest of her skeletal structure. Once all her flesh was removed from her body and they could only see her bright white bones, she started to grab her friend to spin him around and around. She and the other skeletons kept on spinning whoever they could grab onto. The last person left human, Jeffery, started bolting up the sides of the hole to climb out of the grave. As he escaped, the grave closed just like the gates to the cemetery closed when they first walked in, sending a shiver down his spine.
Jeffery ran to the closest store to buy a flashlight, a pack of AA batteries, and some beef jerky because he was starving. He was worried about how long it would take him to get back into the graveyard, through the gate, into the grave, and onto the dancefloor to hopefully twirl his friends the opposite direction, bringing them back into the world of mortality. As he went down the battery aisle, he heard a voice talking to him.
“Hi! How can I help you sir?”
Jerfery looked up and gasped. Behind the counter was a real live talking, moving skelton. Then he realized. “Great costume!”, he complimented the store worker.
“You must be mistaken. We sell Halloween costumes in aisle 13, but I’m not wearing one,” replied the store worker.
Jeffrey sprinted out of the store dropping everything, including the beef jerky. The skeleton attendant followed him.
The skeleton picked up everything, including the beef jerky and decided to eat a sliver. As Jeffrey continued running towards the graveyard, he looked behind him and saw that the skeleton was slowly growing flesh back on it’s bones. Jeffrey realizes that the skeleton was now almost human again. He thought to himself, “It must have been the beef jerky.” Jeffrey decided he had to get the beef jerky to his friends in the grave with the help of the store worker.
