Ms. Cummings
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with each parent/guardian that was able to attended conferences last week. For those of you who were not able to attend, please feel free to email me anytime to discuss your child's progress, or to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your student.
Remember the 2nd book deadline is Friday, October 26th. Happy Reading!!! As you know, we have reached the writing section of the Read 180 Workshop. We have been working on our outlines and writing our drafts. I have provided 3 days extended time to complete the draft. I am asking that all students have their drafts completed by end of class on Wednesday, October 17. We will begin peer revisions on Friday & Monday.
*Remember the Book #2 Deadline is October 26th. Students should be finished reading their 2nd book, completed their 2nd QuickWrite, and passed their 2nd Reading Counts Quiz with a 70% or higher. Welcome Back from Fall Break!!
In class, we have started the writing portion of the Read 180 Workshop. In 8th grade we have analyzed a student model of an Argument Essay. Seventh graders have analyzed a student model of an Informational Summary, and Sixth graders have analyzed a student model of an Informational Paragraph. Students will be using the information from the texts we have been reading in class to write their own essays. We will begin brainstorming/outlining this week. Remember to sign-up for your parent-teacher conference. |
