In 6th Grade Reading this week . . .

In Reading class this week, students will recieve their AR point goals for Quarter 1.  It is imperative that students reach their goals by the end of the 9 weeks; otherwise, the percentage they have towards their goal will be transferred as a test grade in Reading class. For example, if students are 60% of the way to their goal, that would transfer as a 60% (F).  Other AR grades will also be factored in.  This week in Reading, we will continue with Where the Red Fern Grows.  Students took a quiz on chapters 1-5 today.  Because this week and next are short school weeks (because of CYO camp, Labor Day and French Market set up), students may have more at-home reading to complete for homework.  The kids are really liking the novel so far; today they asked me if I would assign MORE chapters for homework!  Again, I think this is a great quality of the 6th grade class!
