Today's Class: September 13th

Current Events, Reading Assessments and Reading Logs: Oh My!

Current Event #1 was introduced, and is due on Friday, September 21st, iit is worth 50 points. For a copy of the current event assignment click here. For a list of helpful current events links, click here.

In addition, students took the reading assessment which will help the 6th grade teachers place students in the appropriate leveled reading class next week. Students will receive their reading placements next week and parents will be able to meet reading teachers at back to school night on Thursday Sept 21st.

There is quite a bit of confusion surrounding the independent reading log. Students can begin reading and recording their minutes at any time. But the first week's log is not due until September 26th. If a student were to read their 150 minutes this weekend, they would be covered for the week's log.

Writing warm-up: What is your favorite after school activity? Explain.
