Big Wave Ending


We will finish the Big Wave in class tomorrow.  This is extra credit (and per Jackson's request for a post about this book).  Make a prediction about the resolution/ending of the book.  Think about all the themes and events that we have recorded on our story map to help you. 

  • What happens to Old Gentleman?
  • What happens to Kino?
  • What happens to Jiya?
  • How are the possible themes we discussed yesterday shown in the book's ending?

Excel in Real-Life


We've been using Excel with graphing and formula tools in the computer lab. Please find an adult (it could be a parent, babysitter, neighbor, or someone else) that uses Excel for either their work or at home and report back to the class the way that this person uses this software. It will be fun to see the way that people use this program outside of school! Please use your best writing skills and complete sentences or your comments will not be accepted. Happy interviewing!
