Week #2 Recap 9-14-12

http://www.eduplace.com/rdg/res/literacy/in_read1.html

This week was mostly spent on reading!  Two of the days were spent on testing.  Testing vocabulary acquisition skills in large part examining their ability to use context clues, passage comprehension and then also some listening skills.  In addition, Thursday, students selected a novel to fit into the category of Historical or Science fiction and read for 25 minutes in class.  Today, students are bringing home some information on the required independent reading which will begin Monday, Sept. 17th and also information on an upcoming book project due Nov.1 

The students are absolutely loving the brain activities that I put on the board every day and it really focuses their attention first thing and requires them to use higher order thinking skills to solve.  IN THIS CLASS WE ARE GROWING MINDSETS!!!!

We had an awesome week! :)
