Math-Students will complete their 2nd math i-ready diagnostic test for the year. This test can be taken at home (login.i-ready.com) if a student is absent today and/or tomorrow or does not complete the test in the next two days. This two-day test on the computer will assess the level at which the student is currently performing. The test is very important for many reasons. It not only shows the students progress in math this year, but high school counselors will use these scores to place students in their high school classes next year.

Math announcement: Today I am out of the building for Professional Development activities. My substitute is one who frequently substitutes in my classroom, other Mavericks classrooms, and around the building. Students know their expectations for completing work in the classroom and displaying the same behavioral expectations expected even when I am present. I will have access to email throughout the day.

Science-Today students who did not finish their science benchmark will finish that. Afterwards, students will finish work on completing their geologic time travel commercials.

Social Studies-

English Language Arts - Today we will be analyzing infographics: What are the visual aspects of the graphic? What concepts are being addressed? What knowledge does the reader obtain from the graphic? What could the creator do to improve the graphic based on any of those three criteria? Tomorrow students will begin their infographic project.
