It's Friday! :)

Today all classes took a reading assessment that determines their reading "lexile." A lexile score helps students find the right book for their reading level. It is a good reference point to use when choosing a point, but keep in mind that if you have a high lexile, the book suggested for you may not have appropriate content. In other words, lexile is just a small piece of who you are as a reader. You can look up suggested book on lexile.com ; just enter your lexile number, choose your genre(s) of interest, and a list will be generated for you! Cool!

If you were absent today, please go to   http://scholastic:55880/slms/StudentAccess  and take the lexile assessment. Username and Password are both your ID number, so you are entering your ID number for both. Please bring me your score.

After the assessment, we worked on the final draft of poems. Monday is the last day to pass those in.

Thanks so much again for your stellar attitudes this week! Fantastic!

H/W: Do you need to work on you final draft of your poem? Did you do a self edit and peer edit?

Have a great weekend!
