Today we ran a different schedule because we had the Pink Shirt Day Assembly for the first hour of the school day. For this reason, classes were a little bit shorter.
During Language Arts, the students spent time doing SSR. Then, they were given time to get organized since the end of the marking period is one week from today. The students were given time to double check for late work, make sure their Read Theory was completed, review their AOTW on the Football article, and turn in One-Pagers.
The October Scholastic books were sent home with students today too.
We also spent time in class organizing interactive notebooks. I will be collecting them on Monday for a grade and looking at them while the students take their unit test. Interactive notebooks should serve as a study guide for the test on Monday. Students will not be allowed to use their notebook during the test but they will have their literature books available to them.
Blocks Two and Three played a review game for their test. They worked in teams to Escape the Room and review for their test on Monday. Unfortunately, the assembly ran over and Block One did not have time to play. They will get to play before they take their test on Monday.
I will do my best to have grades updated by the end of the weekend. There is a lot to grade so please hang in there while I catch up! I will send a Remind when I am finished grading everything I have received.
Have a great weekend!
