PROMPT: If you could solve one problem in the world, what would it be?

• Write at least a half page.
• DO NOT SKIP LINES.

Hi. I hope you’re having a great day. First, you must finish your NWEA READING test.  Then, you must finish your NWEA LANGUAGE test. I woke in the middle of the night, and I was feeling pretty sick, so I’m not in a great mood today.  A lot of good NWEA scores would help. If you do have your planner, drop your name into the green water pitcher.  If you don’t have your planner, drop your name into the red star.  Because it’s “Friday”, we MIGHT stop a little early today (if everyone is being serious during NWEA testing). If you want to play reading football or trashketball, etc. drop your name into the navy blue French roast coffee box. If your NWEA READING level AND your NWEA LANGUAGE level is 7th grade or higher, you may have VERY QUIET free time today. If BOTH your reading and language scores went UP, you may have VERY QUIET free time today.  You must stay in your assigned seat unless the teacher gives you permission to move. If you’re in Mr. Dobert’s fourth hour class, do NOT drop your name at all today. If you’re done with BOTH of your NWEA tests, you could quietly read a book or practice on IXL or check your grade on StudentConnection. Take your composition book home with you if you want to get a head start on all the pages and finish your composition book early and not have to worry about it during the last week of school. There will be a new page every day of the break. If you do all the pages, it could really help your grade! I love rainy days, but only on school days. For extra credit today, you could find all the words in the science word search (use a highlighter) then write a short, funny story that uses at least eleven of the words from the word search. Have a great weekend! 🙂

5 MINUTE BATHROOM BREAK: I will probably give you a 5 minute bathroom break if I see you quiet and focused and serious today.

YOU MUST HAVE PERMISSION TO LEAVE YOUR ASSIGNED SEAT.

B-W:

• Log in to your StudentConnection and find the testing section.
• Be ready to show me your NWEA LANGUAGE score from January, 2019.
• KEEP THIS TAB OPEN ON YOUR CHROMEBOOK UNTIL I WRITE DOWN YOUR SCORE!

CW1:

• Continue/complete your NWEA READING test.

CW2:

• Continue/complete your NWEA LANGUAGE test.

IMPORTANT INFO:

If you finish your NWEA READING test during the last 30 minutes of class, AND your score was successful, you may have VERY QUIET free time for the rest of classtime today and start your NWEA LANGUAGE test tomorrow.

6th HOUR ONLY: Because so many students are absent today, we MIGHT stop a little early.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be finished with NWEA READING and NWEA LANGUAGE before the break?  Then you can focus on NWEA SCIENCE next week.  THAT DOESN’T MEAN RUSH TOO FAST, BUT PLEASE DON’T WASTE TIME!
