8/16/12

**Junior Academy should be able to STAR test and start taking AR Quizzes next week.**

English 8th:  Students took the MAZE comprehension and WPM (words per minute) assessments, which  we do several times a year to track student progress.  In addition to completing DOL & Journal work today, students had some time to work on their vocabulary (meaning/definitions).  *homework: Vocabulary work is due tomorrow - study for Vocab. TEST

Geography 7th:  Students read Chapter 1, Section 1 (pg. 14-17) and completed a graphic organizer within groups.  Individually, they completed Guided Reading Activity 1 (must re-read text to complete this independently - this is done purposely).  If they had extra time, they worked on a World Map Activity that will be continued tomorrow.  *homework: current event due tomorrow - GR Activity 1 if not completed in class
English 7th:  Students competed DOL (Daily Oral Language) and journal work.  While they worked in their journals, I completed WPM (words per minute) assessments individually with each student.  We spent some time reading journals orally in front of the class, and completing spelling work for today (context/sentences).  *homework: all spelling work is due tomorrow - study for spelling TEST
