We then went over our new vocabulary list. \u00a0Tonight students should make 5 sentences, using each of the first five words.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n We then spent a good amount of time looking at our science Case 21s, and finding where we made our mistakes. \u00a0Our performance was not stellar on these, but there were a few questions that I felt were really ‘gotcha!’ type questions, and I am never a fan of those.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally to end our day we took a trip to the computer lab, where students took a Star Test. \u00a0I had an idea I wanted to try out, and I was fairly successful. \u00a0The Star Test measures things like vocabulary and grammar skills, and basically whether you have been reading or not. \u00a0I had each student take the test, and then I guessed at how many books they had read over track out. \u00a0For the most part I was right on the money, guessing TWENTY ONE out of TWENTY SEVEN students correctly. \u00a0I literally simply looked at their score, and if they didn’t move since track out, or went down, I guessed zero books, and more often than not, I was correct.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is so extremely important that students keep reading. \u00a0There’s only so much we can do with 5 instructional hours of school each day. \u00a0Reading each day for 30 minutes to an hour is an absolutely gigantic addition to that time. \u00a0Please make sure students are reading at home. \u00a0It is the most beneficial thing you can do for their education.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n so, tl;dr<\/p>\n write a simple haiku riddle about something you did over track out<\/p>\n write a sentence using each of the first 5 words on our vocab list this week.<\/p>\n read for 35 minutes!!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a good one,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Mr. Potter<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n PS: I hate the program that we use to make report cards, and it was down for most of the day. \u00a0As such I could not print out report cards. \u00a0They will be going home tomorrow! \u00a0My apologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome back! \u00a0I hope you had a fantastic track out, and got some much needed rest.
