Goals and Plans

We are reading about goals and plans in our book. What do you want to do next year? What do you want to do before 2019? Ten years is a long time! Will you remember our school?

Look at the survey on the right. Click on your most important goal. We will learn about each other.

I think many people share one goal: we want to have good friends and good memories. Here is a song for this week. This song is about remembering people. Who will you remember?


Watch and listen. Watch again with these lyrics (words to song) or with the lyrics from class. Then read my story about my grandmother. It is under the song video. Click on comments. Write about someone you will remember.







Read about my grandmother:

Many people are important in my life. I will remember my grandmother, Zelma Cook. She was my father's mother. She helped my family in many ways. She lived with us, and took care of me, my brother, and my sister when my father was a single parent. She was very patient with me. She taught me how to cook and how to sew. Sometimes I thought she had too many rules when I was young. Sometimes I was a difficult teenager! Now I know she wanted to me to be a strong, good person. She was great! She gave us love and attention. I will always remember her in my heart. By Venette Cook

  3. I remember my Mother very much. She was the single mother, because my father passed away when I was ony ten months old. She never married again. When I was the baby, I didn't have the good health. I just started to walk when I was ten years old. so that was very difficult for her to take care of me, and two older sisters, and two older brothers.

    She pasted away,I wasn't there and I couldn't come back in my country because I don't have money to buy the air fly ticket. I cried a lot and I'm very sad about that.

    Today, when I wrote this massage, I feel like crying again.
