Happy Lunar New Year!

It's good to be back in the classroom. I learned so much at the TCEA convention last week, but I really missed my kids! Looking forward to sharing my new-found knowledge with them later this semester!

Ms. Scott guided us through Career Cruising today. Students explored interests, skills, colleges, and careers.

After that, students read and annotated the article of the week and responded to it in their Writer's Notebooks. Today's article was about the Flint water crisis. Students used the remaining class time to read independently.

Coming Up:
Tuesday: Return summer reading essays; students will have an opportunity to revise the essay for a higher score. Revisit the element tracking activity and dig into some poetry.
Wednesday-Thursday: More poetry analysis
Friday: Literary Analysis test

Today's Board (full of randomness! Email if you have questions about any of it.)
