February 5th, 2018 - February 16th, 2018
Good morning!
We hope you had a wonderful weekend. Here is our update for the next two weeks.
Dr. Foote' and Ms. Culberson (1st, 5th, 6th Periods):
The students took their test on Thursday of last week for the poetry unit. On Friday, the students started their Write Score testing. They took this test at the beginning of the year, and they are taking it again to see how much they have grown. They will continue to take this test through tomorrow (Tuesday). Once the students have finished Write Score, they are spending time on iReady.
On Wednesday, we are introducing this semester's book talk assignment. It is a choice board that allows the students to choose 3 assignments to complete after reading their book of choice. They will have the rest of February to complete this task.
On Thursday, we will do a narrative writing workshop. The students will practice their narrative writing to prepare for the Georgia Milestones in April. They will either have to write their own beginning or ending to a story.
On Friday and through next week, the students will be reading a short narrative called, "Drawing Horses". They will learn vocabulary words, annotate the story, and write constructed responses next week about the story. We plan on having a common assessment on "Drawing Horses" on Thursday, February 15th. On Friday the 16th, we will have the students write another narrative response for practice.
Ms. Culberson (3rd & 4th Periods):

School News:
Just a reminder that your student is supposed to be completing at least 45 minutes of iReady every week! Also, we are choosing clubs this week and club days start back Thursday, February 15th.
Students are to report to school as normal on Friday, February 9th, as well as Friday, February 16th! These were originally teacher work days, but they are now make-up days for students!
Sincerely,
