Parents and Students: In my last BLOG, I listed assignments
that I have been trying to collect and grade. Also on April 2nd
or 3rd I printed Progress Reports for students to SEE if and what
assignments they still needed to complete and turn in.
Whatever assignments I do not get handed in by Tuesday, April 15th,
will be too late to accept, and those grades will be a zero.
Except for period 5, classes were given a short planet research
assignment using the Internet on April 4th. It should not have taken more
than one hour over Spring Break. A few students did not complete
this and received a zero, we wrote it in our Agendas on Friday
in class.
This week we are learning the phases of the moon.
We are having a short test on the Phases of the Moon on
Friday, April 18th. You will be given 8 blank circles and asked
to shade, name, and describe the phases of the moon. We
will practice and review this every day this week.
We will also be learning solar and lunar eclipses.
There will be a test on this next Tuesday, April 22nd.
We will be practicing and reviewing these each day.
These concepts are CRCT concepts and easy to confuse.
Next, we will cover seasons.
Lastly, we will begin our CRCT review of the year.
This is always fun for gifted students!
PLEASE BRING TEXTBOOKS TO CLASS EVERY DAY. :)
Gifted RICA:
Mondays and Fridays we have silent
reading and we enjoy that very much!
Homework on those nights is to reflect
175 words or more, and indicate the date,
fiction or nonfiction, and the response
number in your Composition Book.
Please count and write the word count
at the end of your response. Thank you!
Response numbers may not be repeated in
the nine weeks period. NO LATE reflections
will be taken for a grade.
I just graded Reflections for 3/28
and 3/31.
We are writing a Reflection for
today 4/14.
We will begin Lesson 6 in the Vocabulary
Workbook this week.
Students must bring their reading books and
Composition Books EVERY Monday and Friday.
Students must bring their workbooks, reading
books, and composition books on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
