Final Assessment

Dear Maya,
Your blog is wonderful. You have interesting ideas and I can see that you put a lot of effort into it. You still need to use the spellcheck with your work. It isn't hard and it will make a big difference.
Your final grade is 95.
Yours,
Karen Noll Stanger

Reflection

On the last assignment I did very much enjoy writing the last book report.
I enjoyed it because I finally knew that this is going to be the last book we are going to have to read.
I prefer the regular way to do a book report because it takes less time then this way. Ilike to finish reports early because less presure.
I think it wasn't worthwhile to spend so much time on the assignments because we could of finished the assigments much earlier. Although the assigments helped me alot correcting my grammer.
I learned that there are fun ways to do assigments other than write on a paper.
I do suggest we continue with this type of learning because it doesn't waste paper.

Diary

Deenie's diary:
Dear diary,
Yesterday Janet and Midge took me shopping and to a movie. It was so much fun.
Actually I didn't even know we were going to spend money on clothes. I thought that we were just going to eat lunch and see a movie.
So they bought me a nice nightie for the hospital.
Then we went to lunch but they wouldn't let me pay for anything even though I had money.
Then we went to the movie. Midge went out to the lobby to buy more popcorn and when she came back she whispered 'I just saw Buddy Brader and Steve Hildrick'.
And then just when the movie began I saw Buddy sitting next to me. I was really nervous when he started to put his arm around my chair so I looked at him and he took his arm and put it on my shoulder!
Then Steve asked me to change seats with him. I guess he asked that because he liked Janet.
At the time I was closer to Buddy.He reached down for my hand.
As soon as the movie was over we all walked outside together. It was the best time ever!
