Today we talked about what was essential/vital for students to know to succeed in class. We looked at the 9th grade Power Standards (located here).
We looked at the 50 Book Challenge. PGJR has been participating for the last 3 years.
We added the Reading Log to the composition/writers's notebook.
We had a book talk. Please see this link for all the books we discussed.
Students wrote a "Letter to My Future Self." The directions are here. They will get this letter back on the last day they come to this class at the end of the year.
Bring your composition book, highlighters, core binder and your Silent Sustained Reading book NEXT TIME.
