We read for DEAR time. You are doing much better.
The following directions activity was fun, but also kind of serious. You all (except the 3 who followed all the directions) need to work on reading all directions before jumping into anything.
We had a blast trying to read the Social Studies newspapers. Remember that the period at the end of a sentence is a STOP sign. Do not want to keep rereading the same thing or get a reading ticket for running a stop sign.
You did really well during the band and orchestra assembly. Remember if you join you are making a committment to the band/orchestra and to yourself to do all the required work in and out of class.
