And We're Back!

Just like that our Fall Break is now our past, but I enjoyed reading some blog posts about its events and sharing "30 sec" stories in class (you know the time limit is for our practice organizing how we want to say what clearer, right? And with that said, keeping the details at minimum, but most memorable, so when we have longer time and stories they flow without clogs ;p)

Oh! Check out SchoolTube!  I've added some highlighted events including our Townhall visit and sing-song learning aids! 

This first marking period, which ends Thursday, was our getting into and adjusted to the class environment and structure with practices, projects and performances (aka tests, assessments).  From now on, you are expected to know how to sign in to your accounts more effectively and be familiar with how the Journeys tests look (directions set-up, question and answer choices, open-ended space for response) so your focus is on the context and content that is being assessed, not how to read through the test.

This week we are also appreciating our Veterans with our Walk a Mile, Make A Veteran Smile events that was sent home to participate in! Please explore our glog at  Going Places>Global Events too!

As always, we're building our website resources more each day, so keep exploring and discovering.  Narrative writing and writing secrets are our latest under Writer's Block.
