Week in Review

We have made it through our first two weeks of school.  Today students took a formative assessment on standards RL1 and RL2.  Those standards require that students use text evidence to support their explanations and that they analyze literary elements like character, setting, and plot.

During social studies we continued learning about and discussing the Bill of Rights.  Students received an abridged version of the Bill of Rights and we completed a review in class.  Some students requested an additional study guide and many have already begun studying by using the Bill of Rights quizlet.  The Bill of Rights assessment will be next Friday.

We also had our first library visit today and many students checked out books.  Students should read 15-30 minutes daily.

Bill of Rights Sort

Students had to categorize some amendments as individual freedoms, protection from the government, and judicial rights.
