TUESDAY: Today all classes were taken to the Media Center for an orientation and then were given time to check out books. Students who still have overdue books from LAST year were not allowed to check out new materials. It is important that all overdue materials are returned ASAP. If books are lost, they must be paid for.
Students were allowed to self-select reading material today. The only requirement was to select something they had not previously read. In the future, they will be required to read specific types of books at specific times or read books within a certain LEXILE range. Students will be required to read three books per quarter. They will also complete a project of their choice for each book read. We will discuss the attached list of projects on Thursday.
WEDNESDAY: Students will have a substitute in class today while I am scoring the writing assessment taken on Monday. While I'm away, students will take a grammar pre-test. They will also begin reading informational articles relating to their Georgia Studies current event assignment. We will continue to work on these articles throughout the week.
