ELA - Students will continue their
Standardized Writing Assessment. Today we will read two articles giving
different statistics on High School Sports. None of this assessment will be
posted on the blog or my webpage as it is an independent assessment. Students
will need to see me before school or at lunch to make up any portion
missed. Hopefully we stay cool! Homework: READ! Look for items to
"decorate" or personalize their Reading/Writing Journal. We will be doing this
in class on Thursday.
Corrective Reading with Mrs. Canvasser: Continue to work on your reading log
each day (20 minutes, fill out the reading log which includes one reading log
response.) Make sure you choose a different reading log response to do each
night and not the same one. You can use additional paper for the responses and
staples the sheets to the back of your reading log. Reading logs are passed out
on Mondays and need to be returned the following Monday. Today you should fill
it out for Tuesday.

Performance Assessment. We finished up the note-taking process and have begun to

will be graded but will not go into the grade book. I'll explain details
tomorrow during Curriculum Night. Homework:
AR quizzes are due tomorrow for the summer reading. Continue reading Stargirl.
