We will be starting in our iReady books and completing lessons in there, as a class, in groups, and independently.
Reading Log
To ensure that students are reading on a regular basis at home, reading logs will be sent home weekly to be filled out showing what book students read and for how long each day. This will need to be signed by parents.
Reading logs will be sent home on Monday and collected the following Monday.
Students are working on lessons for their path on skills that they need to work on in iReady.
Weekly iReady expectations have been sent home.
I am meeting with small groups while others work on journal writing, independent reading, and reading skills.
We have been getting on chromebooks and joining and signing into various websites we may use throughout the year. All login information will be on a sheet that we will staple to the front of their planner.
Students have joined my Google Classroom, logged into a site, Epic!, that has books to read online, and other reading sites.
We will be reading about how people depend on the environment and they adapt and change the environment.
