This is Terra Nova testing week! We will be taking Terra Nova tests on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please be sure to get a great night sleep and eat a good breakfast!
We will continue to practice analyzing nonfiction in LA class in preparation for the PARCC and to review what we have learned so far this year. We will be working on completing a "Success Map" to help us reach our goal of "I can analyze nonfiction texts." We will have "rest stops" along the way to help make sure we have mastered key skills to reach our goal. The students will be answering the following questions:
- What am I learning?
- How will I know I've learned it?
- Why am I learning it?
This will put the students in "driver seat" of their learning!
We start Flocabulary Unit 9 this week. We will take a spelling test on February 6th and a vocabulary test on February 12th (a THURSDAY due to the inservice day on Friday). Since the students enjoyed studying their last set of vocabulary words on the quizlet.com website (with the games and flashcards) I have made study sets for each of our remaining flocabulary lessons this year. They are all linked on our Schoology.com page. Unit 9 is linked here. Click here to study the spelling words on Spellingcity.com
Reading logs are due Friday. Students who are trying to pace themselves with their book tweets should be completing one next week to ensure that they complete the four that are due later this quarter!
Have a great weekend and do a "snow dance" while you watch the Super Bowl on Sunday!
