I'm Thinking Like an Atom...
I have traded in my bookmarks & maps for goggles!
Today begins a fresh new subject for Leger's Ledger. I have made the shift from 6th grade Reading/Social Studies to 5th grade Science. I am excited for the change and eager to up-date this blog to meet the needs of my future scientist for the 2015-2016 school year!
Scope Magazine's Famous First Lines Contest 2015
"I woke up in a pile of bones."

In
September, our class participated in Scholastic Scope Magazine's "Fabulous
First Lines" contest. We studied various first lines of literature and
students practiced their writing skills by coming up with their own original
first lines. Thousands of entries were submitted from across the nation and 12
finalists were selected by author, Lemony Snicket, who is best known for his
children's books, A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Are
you hooked? Curious? Intrigued? Maybe even afraid?

Of
these 12 finalists, one line will be chosen and used as the hook in his next
book due out in May. Our very own Gunner H. was chosen as one of the finalists.
His line was inspired while reading the Harry Potter series. He said, "I
was thinking about a part in Harry Potter when they are in a pile of bones. I
asked myself, what would it be like to just wake up in a pile of bones?" Gunner
received a certificate, a letter of congratulations and a writer's journal to
begin collecting his literary musings.
Congratulations Gunner! Vidor Middle School is cheering for you and proud of your creativity and enthusiasm for reading.

Book Spotlight: Leontyne Price: Voice of a Century
To celebrate Black History Month, this years spotlight will be on Leontyne Price. She is an extraordinary opera singer and below you can watch a performance and listen to one of her famous recordings.
I was asked to
review a beautifully illustrated picture book about Ms. Price. We will
read it in class this week and she will be added to our African American
biography cards. To read my review of Leontyne Price: Voice of a Century click HERE.
Here is a copy of the added card.

A big 'Thank You' to I'd So Rather Be Reading for this addition to our classroom and to Miss Bailleaux for creating the biography card.

Calender Issues
It just came to my attention that the majority of my calender entries are not appearing. I apologize and I am currently trying to fix the problem. I will continue to send reminders through Remind 101.
