An Ohio teacher was fired for dragging a student in the Youngstown school in the Mahoning County Head Start. The teacher was caught dragging the student down the hallway by the arm. The program took action to this behavior immediately. The program provides education to the ages of 3-5. It's crazy to hear a teacher drag a student down the hallway. They apologized to the parents along with the community as well. The teacher was employed by Alta Care Group, a non-profit company that services the early education program. I would say that's crazy just by hearing a teacher drag a kid down the hallway. My biggest question is, who took the picture? The link doesn't day, who took it, but we'll never know. On Monday, We did a student warm-up about our spring break. A lot of people did different things throughout the break, but it was hilarious to hear. We discussed most of the spring break some people had and also disused Bridge to Terabithia, Chapter 3. At the end of the day, we watched a video called, "Bullied". The video, "Bullied", is about a man named Jamie who explains why he was bullied in school. He was bullied in school because he was transgender. His bully went to far, so he ran away twice. On Tuesday, we did our last page of dallies. Then we took some notes on Verbs, 4.6. After the notes, we took our bridge to terabithia quiz on chapter 3. The quiz only had 3 questions and everyone was happy. Until, someone called out that if you get one wrong your grade will be low. That's when everyone freaked out. On Wednesday, We had our trimester 3 essay. The question for the trimester 3 essay was: Imagine you were in a desert. What would you do to survive? On Thursday, we had our mug back for the first time in a long time. We read a little bit of Bridge to terabithia. You read either with Mrs. Todesco or by yourself. For the last hour of our ELA time, we worked on our film.
On Monday, we took notes on someone who sued the school system. The title was called The people vs the school system. Then we took a Title 1 exam for English.

On Tuesday, We took notes on Troublesome Verbs. There were two words for each one. 12 words in total. We started to read a little bit of Chapter 2 in BTT. On Wednesday, we had another student warm-up, which was called, Think of a Memory and 2 songs. Basically, you have to name a happy or sad memory that reminds you of 2 songs. We had our spelling quiz with 12 vocabulary words and finished it off with frontrowed.com. We had some time to do the book report and read a little bit of reading in BTT. On Thursday, we took notes on Linking Verbs and learned that linking verbs can be substituted with a "to be" verb like is. Before the notes, we did our dailies. We spent the rest of our class time reading BTT and went on to MMTM.
There was a search for teenager, Elizabeth Thomas and a high school teacher who the police officers believe he kidnapped. The high school teacher, Tad Cummins, was last found at a Walmart store buying brown hair dye. Police are saying Elizabeth is going to dye her hair and change her appearance. Their families are begging them to come home and turn themselves in to the police. We don't know if Elizabeth left her hair blonde or dyed it brown. Their reason why they were left to a search was because of a student who claims she saw Cummings and Elizabeth kissing in his classroom. Cummings was suspended from his teachings. The reward to bring or find these two people is a thousand dollar reward. Tad Cummings is believed to be armed. Elizabeth’s brother, James, said before his sister’s disappearance, she told another sibling to call the police if she didn't come home by 6 pm on March 13. Families and friends are worried about these two people and hoping they would return.
On Monday, We did our Tracking Trash presentation and took notes on them. The reason why we took notes is because of a reflection on what we thought about Tracking trash or Sugar changed the world. On Tuesday, we continued our notes for Verbs. We continued to present our Tracking Trash/ Sugar changed the world presentation and took notes. On Wednesday, we had a frontrowed.com assignment about cotton candy. We finally finished out last presentation with Sugar changed the world. The book, "Sugar changed the world", was interesting and long. Then, we started to read about our book report. We had to write down at least 20 irregular verbs that were due on Thursday. On Thursday, We had a MUG paper that we corrected and pasted on our composition book. We had an hour of ELA on Thursdays for awhile because of our Making Movies that Matter project. Before MMTM, we did our notes for Verbs. Mary and Greg Pellegrino are thinking about having a second child, but thought they shouldn't because they might not have enough money to afford more space. Their other reason was thinking if Mary will die. Her first pregnancy almost killed her. Mary, who is now 35, had a serve form of preeclampsia. The disease involves high blood pressure and affects about 3 to 5% of the pregnancies in the US. There was no cure for this disease so the doctors delivered the baby to save the mother’s life. Since she has had this once, she is now aware and at high risk of becoming pregnant again. Mary and Greg both wanted their 3 year-old son, Bennett, to have a sibling, but they don't want to risk his mother’s life. Mary gave birth to Bennett 15 weeks early weighing about 1 pound and 2 ounces. Preeclampsia has been recognized since ancient times, but researchers don't know how women could receive this disease like Pellegrino did. This disease is known as a mystery disease. On Monday, our warm-up was asking who would rather be your driver. A 10 year-old or a 90 year-old. I chose 10 year-old because many kids have played driving games, so they can be pros at driving. Then, everyone had a debate on why a 10 year-old should drive and why a 90 year-old should drive. Tuesday was the last day of February. We wrote some thoughts about Ash Wednesday and some intentions for the Ash Wednesday mass. Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. We went to the mass at the afternoon around 2 o’clock. Before the mass, we had practice on our pronoun test tomorrow. It was a long rotation. Thursday was fun. We took our pronoun test and it was good. Then, we had our making movies that matter script. My group and I decided to do depression and to show depression, we were going to do a death or a loss. Our group wants to show the pain from the person, to show that we can be strong. Friday is our poet project. Most of us will be in a circle, so we can talk about our poet. We will tell the teacher or a classmate about your poet. On Monday, we figured out what Ethos, Pathos, and Logos means and what they are used for. These 3 words are used for commercials and Ads like a product or a lesson. Ethos means Ethical or Moral. The author or creator’s credibility, believability and/or likability. For example, an Oxyclean commercial shows credibility and believability by the announcers voice. The english words for Ethos are ethical or ethics. Pathos means feelings. Stories, scenarios or statements to make something emotional. For example, A girl was driving, while texting on her phone.

It shows an emotional feeling for Pathos. The english words for Pathos are empathy, sympathy, pathetic, or antipathy. On Tuesday, we met our glow buddies for valentine’s day.
