Reading and Word Study with Mrs. Lee
Reading: We have completed our study on the Notice and Note Signposts and will begin our first unit on Analyzing Themes in Fiction. Our first task will be setting SMART goals for our reading work this first quarter. We will also be learning what it looks like to write about what we read. Students are required to have a "Just Right" fiction chapter book in class each day. Students will use this book to apply the skills we are learning in our mini-lesson time.
Word Study: next list on September 10th
Writing with Ms. Flanegan
Science and Social Studies with Ms. Wiley
Science: The Cells Test retake will be on 9/4. Students have viewed their test in class and we went over the procedure for retakes. If your student would like to retake this assessment they must complete the Summative Mastery Ticket (located on my eClass page) and turn it in with ALL attached work on 9/4. Please remember that according to the Parsons Retake Policy students may only retake two summative assessments per subject, per semester.
