In Language Arts today the students finished testing! Students who finished early were given the opportunity to go on MobyMax and work on their 60 minutes of homework in Reading Skills Literature.
I will be in a meeting out of the building during the first half of the day tomorrow. I spent the last few minutes of class today teaching the students about Read Theory. This is another website we will be using to help us read informational texts at our various reading levels. The students will be expected to complete 3 quizzes per week. They will be due at the end of class on Friday just like MobyMax. This is also something they can pick during Daily 5. As long as they are staying focused, they should be able to complete all three quizzes within 20 or 25 minutes which is equivalent to one round of Daily 5. If your child is coming home with a lot of MobyMax and ReadTheory to do on Thursday nights, that means they are not using their class times wisely.
Tomorrow with the substitute the students will be given the chance to go into ReadTheory and practice. They should be able to finish all three quizzes for the week during the time they are given. Students who finish early will be given time to work on MobyMax. Since I will not be in the building for a large part of the day, I will not be posting to the blog tomorrow which is why I included information about tomorrow’s class in this blog post.
Try to stay cool!
Homework:
- 60 minutes in MobyMax Literature Due Friday
