Monday, August 25th

ELA:  We continued with our Making Meaning reading lessons by analyzing an article about soccer.  Students identified the main ideas and evidence within the reading while discussing the text features.  We also read The Giver and completed our daily grammar. 

SS:  Due to our short Monday schedule, we didn't complete a social studies lesson today.  On Wednesday I'm going to review the amendment change process and retest students on that standard this Friday (8/29).  It will be in the same format as the last test and hopefully the overall results will be better.  

Homework:  Students received their homework sheet today; however, we ran out of time and I didn't discuss the words.  I told both classes that they should start the other side of the homework and that I'll go over the words on Tuesday.  I'm also going to give students until FRIDAY to turn in their homework.  Ms. McFaddin's homework is still due on Thursday.

MAP Testing:  Our MAP testing begins tomorrow and students will take the assessments at 10:40am-11:50am on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Conferences:  Please sign up for an after-MAP conference.
