We've just finished up our big Poetry Unit. Students took their unit test and those grades have been published online for three of the four classes already. Poetry can be difficult, and I was quite proud at how well many students did.
Over the next two weeks, we are going to be preparing for the ISATs, the annual standardized testing that occurs each spring. We will be taking time to go over some of the concepts that require a quick review. Topics will include: synonyms/antonyms/homophones, genres of literature, author's purpose, mood and tone, point of view and context clues. We will also be going over the format of the test, so that all students feel confident and prepared when we begin testing the first two weeks of March.
The next AR project for Reading is due at the very end of the month. Students will have some additional in-class reading time to work toward that goal.
