Welcome back from spring break! Hopefully students are revived and are excited to start their last eight weeks of seventh grade. My family and I spent a relaxing week on the beaches of Negril, Jamaica. I am eager to hear about my students' adventures over their break, whether they traveled far from home or spent a "staycation" in Indy.
Core Plus
Students in Core Plus will be continuing with their Achieve 3000 activities. I will also be introducing some ISTEP materials that will help them prepare for the upcoming May tests.
Reading
We will be ending our "School Days" unit this week. We will read the short story, "The First Day," by Edward P. Jones on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will finish out the week with an inspiring film, The First Grader. The film is set in Kenya, and is the true story of Kimani Ng'ang'a Maruge, the oldest person ever to start primary school.
Students should be reading every night for at least 20 minutes, and they should be completing their book logs. Two logs are due each week. An online form is available, as well as the written version.
We will also be preparing for the upcoming ISTEP tests in May.
You can always find the latest homework and assignments at my Planbook.
