10/13/11

Language Arts:
We are ready for our Friday assessments! We spent our time this morning reviewing all of the vocabulary and RIT words of the week, practicing creating compound sentences but joining two simple sentences with a comma and a conjunction. We also met with our reading buddies and worked on our brochure and weekly writing assignment.

Homework:
***Our second grading period reading project paper and instructions were passed out and discussed yesterday. Please make sure that you put the paper and guidelines in a safe spot. The actual project is due on December 16. The students will be presenting these to the class as part of their listening and speaking standard grade. The first thing that I told each student that they need to do is start reading the book that they would like to complete the project on. This book should be approved by me, on their independent reading level, and be a chapter book. Get reading!

***Weekly Homework Packets are due tomorrow- Remember all the signatures.
***Tree brochure and picture prompt writing are due on Monday.

Math:
After completing our minute today, the students rotated through three stations where they completed two different assessments for a grade and worked with a partner on their practice test for our test tomorrow.

Homework:
***Complete the practice test. We will go over all of the problems prior to taking the test to clear up any existing problems.

We did not have content today. We had D.A.R.E. The students have quite a bit of stories to tell about what they learned today from Officer Redman. Ask them.

Until tomorrow...
