Students were given a list of this week’s vocabulary sheets. The list of those I will test on is on the board in the class. The test is on Friday 11-9. The extra credit is the same. It is now 5th period and 95 students have taken the quiz. Only 1 student has done the extra credit. His initials are B.M..
The next reading log is due on 11-9.
Students may read anything they wish- fiction or non-fiction (including textbooks, excluding social media) as long as they are reading for 3 minutes or more at a stretch for a total of 20 a day. Lunchtime and freetime reading in school counts. Logs do not have to be signed by parents.
IRP —The early due date for our next Independent Reading Project is 11-13 and the absolute last day to turn them in is 11-19. We have had 4 class work sessions using our non-fiction projects. Students have been given step by step instructions in class and used a peer review process to ensure their cards were interesting and facts other 6th graders do not know. Students were also given 3 classtime opportunities to check out books. Students were taken through a step by step process for finishing the project including an examination of past projects. All students completed a note card with instructions. All students have been given note cards to complete the process. If a student cannot afford a poster I can give them bulletin board paper to use. All students must complete their own note cards. Please e-mail me if you have a question.
The computer lab is open to all students at 7:20 every morning as is the media center and my classroom.
OOOps tests can be taken any morning but Wednesday and Wednesday after school.
