Today was one of my favorite days yet! Students were very engaged and ready to learn, and I they are really starting to show what they know! As we went over the Week 24 test, I could tell that students were really starting to catch on the the process of using the RACE method with extended response questions, and planning out a great story to go with the writing prompts. They even did a wonderful job of using Venn - Diagrams!
As usual - if any student wants to improve their score, they have the opportunity to redo the open ended questions (number 20 and 21) and turn it back in tomorrow. If they improve their answer, I will improve their grade.
Tonight's homework is to fill out the reflection page and do the assigned Math Worksheet.
Just a reminder to keep tracking your reading for the I LOVE TO READ CHALLENGE, and don't forget to work through the ISTEP Prep Packets.
One more thing...students brought home a list of names this evening for valentines and a challenge. Students are being challenged to create their own Valentine's Holder. There will be prizes for the most creative, best valentine's theme, and best use of recycled materials. This should NOT be something you go out and spend money on. Just a fun way for them to show their creativity.
