Today in Language Arts the students were given time to go to the library.  When we returned, the students spent the remainder of class working on their unit test. I will do my best to have grades updated by the end of the day today.  If I don’t get it done, I will definitely be done by Tuesday evening.

I wanted to take some time to post some upcoming important assignments to today’s blog post.  There is still time to get it all done but I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the expectations since the end of the 3rd marking is two weeks from this Thursday.

All late work for the marking period will be due on Friday, March 23rd.  That is a week from this Friday.  I will take any assignment that has not turned in from 3rd marking period between now and then.  Remember, I do not take points off for late work.

The end of the marking period is two weeks from this Thursday (March 29th). The marking does not end on a Friday since spring break begins on the 30th. That means that one-pagers will be due on Thursday, March 29th.  If students turn them in early, I will grade them early.

The students have also been assigned a NewsELA lesson that goes with the new unit on plays we will be starting Wednesday.  They are expected to label the text features, predict what the article is going to be about, read the article with a partner, reassess their predictions, take the quiz, and write the constructed response by next Friday, March 23rd. We will be talking more about this in class tomorrow.

Lastly, our last unit of Moby Max has been assigned too.  It will be the first grade on the new marking period.  It will not be due until after spring break on Monday, April 9th. This will be our last Moby Max unit for the year!

Have a great evening!
