Wednesday, April 2, 2014

Preparing to continue testing:

  • I tried to catch some fog.  I mist.
  • I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.
  • I'm reading a book about anti-gravity.  I can't put it down. 
  • We're taking a class trip to the Coca-Cola factory.  I hope there's no pop quiz.
  • What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary?  A thesaurus!
  • What does a clock do when it's hungry?  It goes back four seconds. 
  • I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger.  Then it hit me!
  • Broken pencils are pointless. 




Announcements and Reminders: 
Your March Book Assessment should be ready today.  Hang onto your index card, green questions sheet, and notes until you are called on to present.

If you need to make up the district writing test, plan on a day after school.  Let me know when you can stay for about 45 minutes or so. 

Today’s Agenda:
Two to three volunteers will present their book projects today. 

SAGE Testing -- Final Day for B1, B3, B4
   If you need more time, we will make those arrangements individually.
Second day for B2.

Don't forget to use evidence from every passage that you read.  Cite the evidence with an informal citation:
According to Wilson Smith, it's fun to take tests.

 Or use an author or title tag at the end of the sentence:
The best way to prepare for a test is to do your best to learn right from the beginning of the school year (Smith).

See above and arrange to make up the testing.
