Today we went to the media center and the students signed up for Read Theory.
Read Theory is a website we will be using in class to help strengthen their ELA skills.
"Read Theory is a powerful educational tool that offers online reading activities for all ages and ability levels. Our custom web application adapts to students’ individual ability levels and presents them with thousands of skill building exercises that suit their needs."
Today was the last class period the students were able to work on their IBD project.
The students had the whole class period to work on and finish their project.
REMEMBER:
IBD project is due tomorrow at the beginning of class!!
Homework:
Students should finish their IBD project!
September 15th:
The students turned in their IBD projects at the beginning of class. (Any student who did not turn it in should do so immediately!! Every day it is late 10% is taken off the final grade)
Today we moved forward on to a drama called "Dragon Wings."
Before diving into the reading the students completed a worksheet with background information about the drama. Students learned about dragons in eastern and western culture, early flight, and Chinese laundries.
