TESLA Agenda

Thursday 6 September 2012

This is what I worked on today. Today I worked on math with ratios and percents. I also did multiplication and 3 language arts assignments. Also, I wrote a story. This is what I need help on: I need help on ratios because I got a 70% on my quiz. This is what I am doing really well: I am doing silent reading and I am reading Harry Potter, book one. It is really great and I could read it all day long. This is where I need to start tomorrow: Tomorrow I need to finish ratios and percents and I also need to finish my writing that I started today. I was having a hard time getting online today and that is why I did a writing.

There once was a robot ,his name was Bobby and he lived in a beautiful Emerald green castle. He came from a wealthy family. Back in the 1980s a mouse roomed the castle floors stealing every gold coin he could find. Luckily there pet was like an alarm. They had a very unusual pet but they admired . There pet was an elephant they called him Toble. Toble was small was small and different,but he wasn't totally different. When he would walk around the castle and the mouse would happen to pass Toble he would panic and run around in circles
