Last week we dove headfirst into The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. We began with a little bit of background research on some hot topics from the 1960s (when the novel's storyline is taking place). The students did a great job sharing out their research as well as including some of their own background knowledge that they have picked up over the years from past teachers and you!
This week we will continue to work in the novel. Just a reminder that if at any point, students do not finish their assigned classwork, everything is always available for them on the Calendar page of this site. They can review worksheets that were handed out or finish their assigned reading using the linked e-text.
We will also be taking part in an exciting pilot of the Reading program I-Ready this week. We will be in the computer lab two days in order to establish our baseline scores to be able to utilize the awesome extra enrichment and extra help options that they have to offer :)
I hope you all had a great weekend!
