In Language Arts today the students turned in their reading log. They also continued to learn about text features and reviewed author’s purpose.
Lastly, the students spent time on a website we use called MobyMax. This is a website that furthers their skills in reading, grammar, vocabulary, mathematics, and science. In our class, we will be focusing primarily on the grammar portion. The students will be provided with activities through the program that reinforce the grammar that we are learning about in class. We have not started grammar lessons yet and will not be doing so until the second marking period. Today the students took the placement test to set up the program and practiced logging in. Like most Language Arts assignments, the students will be provided with class time to work in MobyMax and will only be required to do this at home if they do not complete the program during class time.
Please pay close attention to the homework assignments on today’s post. The first marking period ends two weeks from today and since it is the beginning of the year and we haven’t had a lot of assignments, completing each task is crucial. The reading log/book summary for the summer learning assignment is in the grade book as summative per district requirements. That means it counts as a test grade. All students have until next Friday to submit this assignment. Please make sure that the assignment is completed or it will greatly impact grades for first marking period.
Have a fantastic weekend!
