So Sorry it's been a while. Working hard everyday to create better writers. Currently working on strategies for an argument paragraph. Students are taking a stance on year-round school and backing up their claim with researched information. In reading our 1st book talks are taking place. Any student that has completed their talk has their scores back...ask how they did. IF a written final draft was not turned in it will be scored as a 1 until the final copy is given to me. For the 1st time speaking in front of the class they are doing a splendid job...practice makes perfect!

Flocab #3 will be due Friday with an assessment Friday. Hopefully you heard about our successful Mayflower play...thanks to all that sent in clothing and gear. The kids seemed to enjoy it immensely!

 

SCIENCE OLYMPIAD meeting Tuesday 245-330..ALL parents and students welcome!!!

The play was a success. Thanks to all that sent in costumes...hope to get it on YouTube soon.

We're creating The Mayflower Compact" a drama over the next 3 days. Scenes are being built and scripts are being read. Any time period props would be greatly appreciated!! We have a musket and a Native American costume. 

6th We will be working on a Mayflower Compact presentation Monday and Tuesday and presenting Wednesday. Does anyone have time period clothing or replicas we could borrow? Even scarves or shawls would add to the authenticity of 1600 America??

7th Informational speeches will begin Monday. We have been researching all week and hope to become better informed on a variety of topics next week!

Completed 10% summaries...redoes will be available Thursday and Friday at lunch. I will encourage all students that did not receive 3's to attend my lunch session!

Today we assessed the 10% summary after teaching/reteaching and practicing all last week. This is a technique that they can/will use throughout their entire school career. 

 

7th grade-Informational paper and speech is under way...preparing our way towards persuasive essay and debates!!!

We did it! Lots of hard work, but we tackled the 10% summary. Grades will be in Monday for our first practice and I'll be assessing it on Monday...I'm excited to see each of you next week at our conferences!!

 

7th Newscasting presentations went well. We learned it's not as easy as these polished professionals make it look. I'm impressed with the effort that students put forth in this class...Kudos

note and Notice k due Fridaypurple bookmar

We are working on Flocab #2 this week after a shaky flocab #1 last week. We decided that in order to score well , finishing the packet and studying needs to be done!  Assessments need to be studied for!!!! The packet and assessment will be Friday. In reading there will be a genre assessment also on Friday...

6th grade Our 1st Flocab/vocab. packet was assigned today. The entire packet will be due Friday but we will do it section by section this week. They do need to finish the syllables tonight as we will check them tomorrow. Spelling as well as vocab will be assessed Friday!!!

6th grade-We STAR monitored today...ask what their reading level is, now that we've taken the STAR twice I have a better indication of their reading level. Next week we will have our first vocab/flocab spelling lesson!

7th grade need a favorite picture book from their childhood to use in class...working on story telling

Our 2nd CREEK behavior has been entered into the system. Please check to see that your son/daughter's scores are where you would like...if not PLEASE contact me for more insight:)
