December 4 ~ Reading ALL Blocks

      Today students received book orders.  All book orders are due December 10th.  This is next Tuesday.  By having them in next week all orders should be in before Winter Break.  Remember that you can also order on-line.  You may send the orders back to school with the students or order on-line at https://orders.scholastic.com/MD7JN  .  

     Today was a center day.  Students completed two of the four centers.  Normally all center work is done is class.  However this week, if students do not complete their reading skill center they will need to complete that as homework.  

Center 1: Lit Circle

     Students should have read their novel and completed their job.  If these are not done, students receive a 0.  They need to stay up to date so we can have a good discussion on the book.  Each block/class/group is reading a different story.  

Center 2: Silent/AR Read

     Students have about 20 minutes to silent read.  They may read their novel or an AR book of their choice.  Also during this time they may take an AR test.  

Center 3: Fluency

     This week in fluency students are seeing how fast they can read in 5 minutes, 3 minutes, and 1 minute.   Their goal is to read quickly with 100% accuracy.  They will be recording this information in their notebook.  

Center 4: Reading Skill ~ Unit 3 Reading Skills Review (Homework if you did not finish in class!!!!!)

     This week students are reviewing their reading skills for our big Unit 3 test on Friday.  Below are the questions.  You will need to answer questions 1-26.   Once you have completed the review, then you will need to grade it.  Remember if you get it right you will put a star.  If you get it wrong put a check.
