*Find the extra credit opportunity for this week here on our blog.*
Self-Starter: Students wrote on the whiteboard teacher names as practice for the spelling test on Thursday/Friday.
1. Some of the students who hadn't done so yet handed in (into the top wire basket for their period) --
disclosure signatures,
the VIP sheet (on the back of the disclosure signatures),
the book approval,
and the composition book which is to be left in class.
2. We discussed
a. checking out books from the classroom library
b. book orders -- The first order will go in this Friday.
c. expected behavior for on the way to and from, and in the media center
3. Students took the second part (sections C and D) of the Core PreTest. If you are absent, you may need to arrange a time before or after school to make-up the tests.
4. We went to the media center to allow each student to look for a book for the Book-of-the-Month Club assignment or to read a book. Most students also had some extra time to read after finishing the test.
