Happy 10-11-12, as some of the kids told me today!

Guided Reading:  We will briefly review compound sentences before silent reading tomorrow, and there will be a quiz on Monday.

Math:  Students made corrections on their math tests today.  We will be completing Common Core Investigation 1 tomorrow.

Language Arts:  If students have everything turned in, the only assignment they have for the weekend is to study "its" vs. "it's" on noredink.com.  There will be a quiz on this on Tuesday at the beginning of Language Arts class.  Persuasive business letters were due today, so students who failed to complete this task should be here after school today for an hour (or until they are finished).

Social Studies:  My groups have been working on the city planning proposal.  Tomorrow, during our extended social studies time, we will have more time to draft the maps and talk the professional city and county planners to get feedback on different ideas.  Otherwise, several students STILL need to complete both their map test and their Russia questions test.  Since there are only four grades in the gradebook for social studies at the moment, these two grades greatly impact current quarterly grades.  I'm available most days after school and before school for students to do this, yet no one has come in to take care of it.
