September 28th

Today we created our Reading Progress board for the class. We created our favorite emoji on a sticker and put our individualized sticker up under the “Fall” category. We will track our progress throughout the rest of the year using our NWEA RIT scores. The goal is to grow in reading!

We were also introduced to the End of Novel One-Pager.  When students complete their two required books per marking period, they will complete a One-Pager assignment and turn it in to the pink bucket.  Two One-Pagers on two different books a student has finished reading are due by November 3rd, however I encourage these to be turned in ASAP because students will be allowed to “Fix” or “Redo” this summative grade for more points if points were lost. If you wait until the last day of the card marking (November 3rd), this will not be possible for you! I will create a tab on my blog soon that has each One-Pager direction sheet on it.

The remainder of the class was spent working on “Read to Self” stamina. Most classes made it to 20 minutes uninterrupted today!
