8/20/13

English 8:  Students were given a handout explaining their STAR testing report with AR goal for the semester.  This needs to be viewed and signed by parents.  We discussed the weekly vocabulary program, and students were given their first day's work - reading passage with the word list.  This is due tomorrow for grading.  Students will have vocabulary work each day.  If it is not completed in class it is homework.    Homework:  STAR report/AR goal signature -  read AR

Geography 7: We discussed the AR reports students were given and students were given a tour of the online grade book in class.  Each student should know how to check their grades online, whether with their own email or a parent's.  They explored the online textbook, discovering its capabilities and how to navigate.  We will share these discoveries tomorrow, as well as start Ch. 1.  Homework:   current event (due Friday) read AR 



English 7:  Students worked on DOL/Journal for the beginning of class. Their spelling work today is "practice" which contains some sort of 5 times each.  They can choose how to present this assignment (detailed in their spelling program).  If it is not completed in class, it becomes homework.  We started a "social contract" toward the end of class.  Students worked in groups to identify acceptable social behaviors in the classroom for both teacher and students.  We will work further on this tomorrow.  Homework:  Spelling 5X ea (all 4 pieces of spelling work due Friday)  read AR
