Readworks

Wednesday, April 1, 2020

This week, one of our assignments for reading is an article from Readworks. A School Trip to the Aquarium. Please read the story and answer the questions. Please use evidence and words directly from the text. Some of you are still “making up” your own answers. I had to send a few back to be redone – you must get 80%.

Parents – on the report card, a large part of Informational Reading comes from this site. Each week in class, I put a “menu” of assignments to do. Each day, I post the readworks articles that go along with our Science or Social Studies’ topics. I choose articles at their level (sometimes separate for 3rd graders and 4th graders) and topics that we are studying. It might be a topic like “Government” or it might be a skill like compare/contrast. Students are to work on these during our Daily 5 time. I let them know if I had to send it back to redo. For this cardmarking, we had 12 assignments from Readworks. I took the top 5 scores to use for the report card. For some students, their grade was still low because they did not resubmit the story or even do it in the first place – even though it was posted every day in class. You will find comments on the report card if this was the situation. When we were in class, this was not a “choice,” these were assignments to be turned in.

That being said, these students passed this assignment on A School Trip to the Aquarium: Sedra, Kash, Ava, Huissen, Julia, Kareem, Nadine, Aya, Zachary, and Jack. Good job! If you turned it in and do not see your name, please go back to readworks and redo. Thank you!
