La Bamba Lip Sync: Next Wednesday at 1:10 the kids will be performing a lip sync to a song of their choosing. This is an optional activity. In the story that we just finished the main character lip syncs to the song La Bamba in a talent show. The kids have been told that they have to check the song with me so I can Google the lyrics for appropriateness. They also need to practice at least three times before Wed. so that it doesn't look like they just decided to do it a couple of minutes before class. This should be a fun activity for them. I even showed them what it would look like by performing Respect by Aretha Franklin...may have looked a little funny if anyone would have walked in on us :)

Homework for tonight:
Final draft of the Veteran's Day essay is due tomorrow. Some of the kids have major rewrites to do. The question they were to answer was...What is your favorite symbol of Freedom and why? Most of the kids were forgetting the WHY!
