Today in Language Arts the students were given time to go to the library. They were allowed to check out two books today if they wanted to since we are going to be on break and they will have more time to read. It is VERY important that students continued to read for 100 minutes each week while we are on break. They will be taking the Reading and Language NWEA tests shortly after we return from break and they need to keep up their skills. This is also why they are expected to pass 10 Read Theory quizzes over the break.
When we returned from the library, students were given time for SSR. After reading, they wrote out their log in their writing notebook.
In order to review for the Unit 2 Test tomorrow, students played an Escape the Room game on Google Classroom to help them study. Students can play this game at home tonight to study more. They can also use their interactive notebooks to help them. The test will focus on the types of conflict, genres, story devices, mood and tone, the pyramid of action, “Tuesdays of the Other June”, and “All Summer in a Day”. They will get to use their literature books the entire time they are taking the test.
With the remainder of their class time, students were allowed to work on Language Arts homework and study.
Have a great evening!
