THURSDAY, September 20
Students completed the first district writing assessment. You may see the prompt here, but you must complete the timed writing in class.
After the timed writing, students started reading "Intro to the Colonial Period" in the literature book and completed a set of guiding questions to make sure they caught all of the important parts.
ABSENT? You'll have to make up the timed writing during class as soon as you return. Then you'll have to make up whatever you miss that day while you're making up the timed writing.
FRIDAY, September 21
SSR: Students read silently all hour.
Read the rationale and rules for SSR. Then make sure you bring a book or magazine, something that YOU WANT TO READ FOR AN HOUR, as long as it's appropriate for school.
ABSENT? You don't have to make up SSR, but you should find an hour or so when you can read and be uninterrupted...a girl can dream, can't she?
