ELA - Ms. Smith concluded her introduction of opinion writing and students completed a topic brainstorming activity. They received their rubrics and the essays are due on Friday, October 18th.
Social Studies - Ms. Barron taught a Social Studies lesson that linked our Civil War curriculum to yesterday's field trip.
Some students forced me to play line tag with them at recess. It was exhausting.
This evening I will be posting a grade for the following standard:
I assess this standard with AR tests and reading responses. At this point in the school year, students should have read at least 3 books that are at or above their reading level. Additionally, they must score an 80% or above on each AR test. The grade I am posting today will not be their final grade as long as students take AND pass at least 4 on-level AR tests by the end of the term (Friday, October 25th). At the end of the term, I will do one more check and THAT grade will be their final grade for the above mentioned standard. As a rule, students need to finish a book AND take an AR test at least every two weeks.
Students should also have completed at least 4 reading responses by the end of the term and I am currently in the process of grading those. Please contact me if you have any questions.
- ELACC5RL10: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature in the grades 4-5 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
