The time has come! FCAT is only a week away and to kick off the start of this very exciting week our class will be completing two activities that will allow students to know the secrets behind FCAT questions! This will hopefully aid in vocabulary, general test taking skills, AND allow a bit of creativity. Parents should be informed that homework will be reading a current novel and mini-homework assignments will be given to spark the at-home reading assignments. The first one was given Friday and this will extend to today's A-Day classes:
1. Read 20 pages in your novel and write one paragraph outlining the main idea of the passage.
2. The second assignment for Tuesday and Wednesday is to read an additional 20 pages and discuss the Tone of the novel so far. This can be in the form of any note style that is comfortable to them and must quote at least 4 sections of text.
In other news, during FCAT testing students will be assigned no homework for that week, however Compass Odyssey will be required. One hour of new work will be due by Friday of next week. Parents, if your child is still having trouble logging on at home encourage them to stop by Ms. Putnal's computer lab to figure this situation out! No child should be without this very important login!
Extra Credit will be posted on Thursday evening. Students are to view the film Alice in Wonderland (the current production by Tim Burton). Assignment information will be available at the end of this week. This is extra credit only and is not an official requirement.
