ISATS

As we enter into ISAT week, be sure to take a deep breath each morning and remind yourself of all the hard work and effort that you have already put forth! You should all be very proud of how much you have learned so far this year!

With the added change of entering into a new trimester, as well, we all have the opportunity to start today with all "A's"! So lets remember to always put forth our best effort and ask for help when we have questions!

Here is this week's schedule:

*In Reading this week, we are reminding ourselves about why we loved to read as children and celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday. All of our class activities will relate to his books.
*In our new extra Reading period, we will be completing comprehension/writing activies based on the articles in this months Action Magazine.
*In RtI Reading, we will be reading the Reader's Theater play for The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and writing our own "true" version of a fairy tale.

Please see Mrs. Mastny and Mrs. Myer's blog for any additional information for 7th grade LA/Reading and 8th grade math!

Have a great week!

ISAT Prep!!

With ISAT testing just a week away, we are busy preparing in both math and reading. Throughout the next week, in all classes, we will be practicing test-taking strategies, reading passages with multiple choice questions, and writing extended responses. Since we have been working on developing these skills throughout the year, we should be ready to start ISATs on the 28th!

We also must remember the importance of these tests, as our result are used to show growth and progress throughout the year.


Have a wonderful weekend!

Snow Days!

I hope that you enjoyed your two snow days this week and stayed warm!

As we enter into next week, we will be finishing up much of the work that we missed Wednesday and Thursday. In Language Arts, we will begin prepositions now on Monday. In Reading, we will take our vocabulary quiz on Monday and finish reading Trouble River on Thursday. The book test will be the following week.

Enjoy your weekend!
