Hello all,
It has been a few weeks since I have last updated. After two days of Acuity testing, students have been drafting their creative narratives as a formative assessment of the skills we have learned in our narrative unit. Students have come up with some brilliant ideas in terms of their story plots! I have been impressed with their writing at times, and we are working hard to continue growing as writers.
I also wanted to remind parents and guardians of the upcoming deadline for our Accelerated Reader Program. As part of our 7th grade Language Arts curriculum, students should read four (4) Accelerated Reader books and pass a test for each by the end of 1st quarter. First quarter ends on October 14th. Students are given 15 minutes at the beginning of Language Arts to read and take tests to meet this goal. I will be sending home a reminder on Monday. Be sure to ask your student for this reminder!
As always, let me know if you have questions! My door is always open.
Best Wishes,
Derek Yost
