8/21/12

We are STAR testing this week and should have AR reading levels and goals available by Friday.  Students may begin taking AR quizzes at any time. 
English 8th: 
A few students needed to STAR test today.  While doing that, the rest of the class worked on DOL/Journal.  We corrected the vocabulary packet and discussed unfamiliar words.  A narrative essay was introduced.  We will continue work on a pre-write tomorrow.  *homework: vocabulary (due Friday) - may begin working on narrative pre-write, but not due yet

Geography 7th:  I collected their World Map Activity and students completed their first 5-minute map quiz.  :-)  They did awesome!  Assigned was pg. 17 #1-6.  *homework: if not completed in class - pg. 17 #1-6 (due tomorrow) - current event (due Friday)
English 7th:
Students continued STAR testing today.  We worked on DOL/Journal, and started the pre-write process to a paragraph.  Students interviewed each other to attain information for their assignement.  We will discuss paragraph structure and work on the rough draft tomorrow in class.  *homework: spelling (due Friday)
