This Thursday is our 2nd Learning continued session.  If your student wants to stay for Learning Continued and has not yet filled out the LEARNING CONTINUED form, please send it in right away.

The new word part list, LESSON 6-7 Vocabulary and Spelling,  is now posted. I am very impressed with how the students are doing with studying and understanding prefixes, suffixes, and root words.  There efforts are showing on the weekly assessments, and will show when it comes to high stakes testing.

We are realizing an area of weakness is making inferences.  We reviewed the Week 12 assessment today.  Most students did not do well on the reading portion, which was based on making inferences.  The good news is we can get better.  As I modeled how to find the clues in the text, I saw light bulbs flashing on in many students eyes.  We will keep working on making inferences along with writing to a prompt this week.
