Typing – We started typing a story into the computer to publish it and I realized that most of the students don’t know how to type. This is a skill that they will need and could use some practice with. The librarian suggested this website for practicing typing: Typing Practice Website

Holiday Shop – Next week the students will have the opportunity to do holiday shopping for their family members. We will have a preview day on 12/8 and the students will shop and bring home their gifts on 12/9. There will be a flyer on Monday with more details.
MyOn Book Review – I have started assigning a MyOn Book Review for the students each week. This is assignment is completed online after the students have finished reading a book on MyOn. The need to write 3 sentences with the following sentences starters:
- I like/dislike this book because…
- I liked/disliked it when…
- I would recommend this book to someone who likes…
MyOn Earth Science Project-The MyOn review is different from the MyOn Earth Science Project. I still have quite a few students who have not completed their project during the class time provided. It will now need to be completed at home. Some people completed some work in the journal but did not transfer it to the Essay Writer section. If the writing is not in the Essay Writer section then I can not see it. This is NOT a summary of what they have read. They need to find 5 earth materials in the books that they are assigned (they must read 3 for all the points). They must tell 5 ways people use the earth materials, 1 way for each material. For example. Sand is an earth material. People use sand to make glass.
The following students are not done with the MyOn Earth Science Project:
Keebler’s class: 7, 9, 11, 20, 21, 23
Polster’s class – There are many incomplete or students who wrote summaries instead of 5 uses of earth materials. I am still grading them. Please check your student’s work. If there is a score then you know it is correct and complete. Please have them finish it if they are not complete or need to redo it.
Work Plans – for the last 2 weeks we have been using our new work plans. This is a list of all the assignments that students needs to complete each day. When they are finished with an assignment and turn it in they should cross it off on their work plan. At the end of the week they should turn their work plan in the reading and writing box. They will be 5 points for turning in a completed work plan. Work plans are to be kept in the back of the red homework folders.
