Week 17: Quote : Question

Readers workshop

HW: Complete l.O.& B.A  By: Friday

First, we marched into class all rowdy from the recent duel that had just happened downstairs. After we sang our marching song, "Your daddy was home when you left," we all took down our chairs in unison while singing an opera. We eventually sat down in our "green bean soldier" seats while admiring gorgeous blueberries, courtesy of Isabella. Then we wrote down our "agendum," which is the Latin root of agenda, as we said in the "medieval times" we were living in. Once we completed writing our agendum, we watched a video to "take a minute" on the modern, large screen that speaks when told. When we were done with the large screen, we all stood up from our seats and removed our notebooks from our knapsacks. We held our books up and sang to the choir bells which were ringing from the horses. When we were done with that, we all took our seats while holding our "green bean soldiers" that looked so beautiful in this golden light from this new world that we were all adjusting to—this world with large screens that talk. Once we finished our "andgit," which is Latin for grammar, we moved onto listening to Ada Limón talking about how she loved chicken liver, calling herself a "chicken liver lover," as we all are. As we spoke of this chicken liver, we took a break to finish our marching song: "YOUR MOTHER WAS HOME WHEN YOU LEFT." We decided to feel a little different today and we did the next line as well: "YOUR SISTER WAS HOME WHEN YOU LEFT." Then we started talking about Ada Limón and her odd eating habitual rituals, and that's when we all broke out into dueling on our horses. They ran through the classroom while we held our sticks. Then, all of a sudden, like nothing had happened, we sat down and the horses went flying with the fairies. When we finished quieting our "snoutband," which is medieval language for someone who refuses to stop their blabbermouthing, a fopdoodle walked in and began stealing our "green bean soldiers." Joleigh and Isabella began getting into an argument about who was the bigger fopdoodle when our lady professor instructed us to get out our books, Inside Out & Back Again. Everyone was calmly reading when President Hamster Sweetcheeks ran into the room with a scroll. Sweetcheeks read aloud: "into each packed one pair of pants, one pair of shorts, three pairs of underwear, 2 shirts, sandals, toothbrush and paste, soap and 10 palms of rice grains, 3 clumps of cooked rice and one choice I choose my doll once lent to a neighbor who left it outside where the mice bit her left cheek and right right thumb I love her more for her scars, I dress her in a red and white dress with matching hat and booties that mother knitted" That was from the poem "Choice" from our book, so after we finished that we told Sweetcheeks to run along. When sweet cheeks left our maestro told us we needed to pack up and the churned bell rang and off we were. I LEFT MY HOME TO JOIN THE ARMY we said as we marched off.
