We worked together today on the comprehension strategy of visualizing….. Some authors write in a such a way, that clear images are created in our minds…
A great way to practice visualization is through poetry. We shared a poem today as a class, and everyone shared the clear images they had when we were done….
Soon, we started drawing what we saw… Check out the video of your HARD WORKING students! It is such a pleasure being their teacher – they are just wonderful.

Hi Mrs. Brooks, what if I go in the school with out heering aids??
well Mrs. Brooks I wish I whold go to school after the surgrey but
I can’t. In the Hospital I was hiding in my blanket so no one not
see me because I was scared so no surgrey forever!!!! So mrs. brooks
how are you doing?
Hi Buddy!
Are you saying you don’t have to wear your hearing aids after your surgery, or are you just teasing me?? I’m glad you stayed home to rest before coming back to school. You’ll be back before you know it.
Even though you were afraid, Jonathan – I think you were still very brave. I get very scared when I have surgery, so I am very very proud of you.
How am I doing? Well – I always feel “BUSY” – Tomorrow I’m going to spend the day with my whole family to celebrate some birthdays. We’re going to Gillette Stadium to visit the Hall and go for dinner. Then on Sunday, Mrs. K Dawson is coming over to work on a project with me. I’m sleepy, also, now that I think about it. It’s 11:14pm and I’m waiting for a movie to finish so I can go to bed!
Hopefully you’re sound asleep after your big day. Thank you for keeping me posted, my friend.
Nite nite!
Love, Mrs. Brooks
Hi Ben, This is my first time writing you a comment!! So how are you
doing Ben??
Hi Mrs. brooks, did you know that I like Extra dark chocklate chips?
I like it because I called it Y.U.M there were so good. I think that
you will like it. Only 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. ohh I know only 10 more
days left until I going to Pennsylvania at 8:30 P.M. I going to be on the car driving to Pennsylvania.
Hi Jonathan, I didn’t know you like Extra Dark Chocolate Chips!! That’s just one more reason why I like you so much!
A trip to Pennsylvania is exciting for Thanksgiving! I know my family is excited to see me on Thanksgiving, too. I hope you have a lot of fun, my friend.
What is your favorite part of turkey dinner? I love the bread, homemade butter, turkey, squash, brussel sprouts, homemade cranberry sauce, grapenut pudding, and a whole bunch of other things. Thanksgiving is almost as wonderful as Extra Dark Chocolate Chips.
Mrs. K. Dawson just left my house – we did a school project together and I think we did a great job! See you tomorrow, buddy!
Love, Mrs. Brooks

Hi Mrs. Brooks, in 3 mre days me and my dad were going in the car and I
hope there won’t be any traffic in New Jersey. So How are you doing today?
well in 4 more days until I will be with Gerri… uh Oh in 4 more days
is way to far wait I know what can I do I had to wait for 2 days first.
When 2 days were over I will wait 2 more days again.
Love Jonathan
Hi Jonathan – I agree – it’s better to wait 2 days, and then wait 2 days again. You’ll have fun the whole time, I’m sure.
We’re cleaning our whole house today (yuck) and then tonight I’m going to see a Drum & Bugle Corp concert with Ms. Sawyer. I can’t wait to hear the loud music!
Have a great Saturday, my friend!
Love,
Mrs. Brooks
PS: How was the Olympian presentation yesterday at school? I missed out on it and would love to hear you tell me more!!
Hi Mrs. Brooks, Is 3 more days is to far?? Because me and my dad
had to get in the car and going to Virginia and get there at P.M
which is 10:00 P.M. Do you think that my dad will get there that
time?? Because that’s is the the time I want to get there…….
So how are you doing????
Love Jonathhan
Hi Jonathan,
I’m sure your dad will get you there as quickly and as safely as possible. 🙂 You know that it’s a holiday week, so you might hit traffic – but there’s not too much you can do about that – so bring some books or music or drawing paper to keep yourself busy and you’ll be there before you know it, buddy!
I’m doing just fine!
Love, Mrs. Brooks
Hi Mrs. Brooks, I really want my dad to get there at 10:00P.M that’s
the time I want. So I think I might not be able to hit the traffic….
I will make sure that we get there at 10:00P.M. So If it was 11:00P.M
That would be nice So that way I can tell my brother all the states-
that we pass. So What ever I woke up at 12:00P.M Because I might get
up late Because I think that might get a 3 hours traffic in New Jersey. So again How are you doing?? I think I already ask you that
didn’t I?? So if we got up at 12:00P.M we might said Oh no were late already Love Jonathan
