Students are turning in their first genre book worksheets at the end of this week. We spent an hour in the lab this week where I made sure they all knew how to format their papers according to MLA. It was a new things for many of them to open up the paragraph or font boxes to change settings, or to turn on the ruler and make adjustments!
Next week the first book projects are due. Most of the work on reading projects is done at home, but we spent time in class talking about how to take the directions and improve them to go "Beyond Expectations."
We have spent lots of time in the afternoons starting the explorer reports. I'll put the directions right here so you can see what we are doing.

The sixth grade group did their first real math test this week. The tests are going home today. Be sure to look at your child's! The seventh grade grade worked with integers, which they said was fun.
Bryce's character for the vocab test was Gobert, the blob of nothingness. Boy, the kids are taxing my imagination!
Tomorrow everyone is supposed to bring washed and dried rocks to paint for our art project. If no one brings any, we won't be able to do art.
