Week 35: 'Twas the Week Before SAGE Reading!

We are in full-swing for SAGE preparation! I'm trying to make it fun with some games too and I'm pleased with how hard students are working. They are such great students! It's crucial that students are in school, review their Reader's/Writer's Notebook, and practice the SAGE Reading test at SAGE Training Test. Practicing the test and tools would go a long way to help students.

Remember to be reading at home at least 30 mins. a day, 5 days a week. Keep up the reading for required books and to enter the iRead 40 Club.

There are a lot of deadlines approaching, here are dates to keep in mind:

I have been so lucky to co-teach with Mrs. Hulse during 3rd period. We secretly plotted and surprised her with a baby shower this week. Many thanks to students and parents who participated. I know she was very surprised and so happy with the thoughtful gifts. We will miss Mrs. Hulse, but wish her the very best on her new adventure as a mother!
