The 4J class will be involved in Quadblogging. Quadblogging involves four schools in our quad. The schools in our quad are St. Francis Primary School in Cowley, Oxford, England, (we don't know the rest yet). Each school will post, then we will read each other's posts and comment. Then we will cycle through giving each school a turn to post and comment on the posts. We look forward to communicating with other students throughout the world! You can read more about it here: http://quadblogging.net/

Refocus Forms


Refocus forms are bad for you because you get in trouble. You get one warning then it’s   
a refocus. When you get refocus you have to go in an other room. You have to write your behavior on a refocus form. When you get a refocus form you get in too much trouble. You get two copies and bring them home and your mom signs one and keep one and bring one back. We feel sad because we wish we didn’t do it.
