Sometimes Mondays get out of hand and I forget to post.
On our first day back from vacation, some of us began science fair planning in earnest (some did this on Friday). Mrs. Babbitt introduced us to some great sources in the library. Remember, since this is a language arts science fair project, everyone needs a source (can be book or online). Here is Ms. Lamb's guide and worksheet due Monday or Friday depending on the group.
I finally sent the progress reports home yesterday. They mostly reflect work done at school, homework and general behavior type things. This is just information in case you need to step up a bit. No one got 4's so don't worry about that.
We introduced the social studies assessment. Kids can work at home, but NO ONE can help them because it is an assessment. We have 4 class periods to accomplish this. It can be finished over the weekend if students work completely on their own. (Nagging is allowed.)
We also began to work earnestly on our book groups. This will be reflected in homework all this week and some next. For the next three weeks students should be READING and WRITING ABOUT READING at home for homework. Students are working to read two Latin America related novels in this time.
Homework for Monday
