We will start NWEA testing tomorrow. Get a good night rest and eat a solid and healthy breakfast! I am looking forward to seeing the growth. Bring your station work and an SSR book.
In class we continued to work through the “Zebra” stations but have yet to finish the last station. You should have collected all the necessary paperwork and compiled the 9 activities with your cover page. We will continue to work through them after we finish the NWEA (Reading). As soon as you finish your NWEA Reading section, you should focus on completing the stations. Based on how we do with completing NWEA, the station work may be due Friday or Monday. You will be graded on quality responses and thorough explanations. Make sure you follow the writing conventions when finalizing your papers. Your writing must be legible; otherwise, you will earn a ZERO. I must be able to read it to grade.
Per the request of some, I am attaching the following information:
