41. Dillion thinks the game is too easy yet he gets the answer wrong because he never takes the time to really get to know other people. He is too concerned about himself.

39. No Dillion is not playing correctly. I am annoyed by him and I think the students in his class are too. Some might think he is funny but most kids probably think he is mean. 40. "I know that look" means Dillion is going to steal something. Maybe the leaches! Icky!

37. Grandpa calls leeches "draculas" because leeches attach themselves to animals and take blood from their bodies. 38. Joe knows it was Ravi becasue he saw him take a double nut m&m out of the jar in the resource room.

More Ideas: Students could also join together to perform a skit, write and sing a rap song, write a poem or a choral read and perform that or choreograph an interpretive dance. The possibilities are endless. Use your imagination

Project Ideas for "Save Me A Seat"
Students could bring a drawing or poster to school during this week. These will be displayed in the Multi-Purpose Room. Be sure to spend time on the project make them neat, detailed, and interesting. Remember these represent your family.
