@@@@FINISH READING PHINEAS GAGE:
You actually can have until Monday to complete this book. I will check out copies of the book over the weekend to anyone who is behind in the reading.
@@@@CREATE QAR QUESTIONS:
We started this earlier this week when we wrote 5 "RIGHT THERE" questions on notebook paper. Today we reviewed "AUTHOR AND ME," "THINK AND SEARCH," and "ON MY OWN" questions. Students were given a GREEN QAR WORKSHEET that had the notes for each type of question PLUS it had the assignment for students to create examples for each type of question type. Most students worked on this for the rest of the hour. Many of them stored the sheet in the back file location instead of take the sheets home, because they kind of need the book to complete the assignment.
I probably won't need you to hand these in until around TUESDAY of next week.
@@@@TAKE RC TEST ON PHINEAS GAGE:
You do not have to take the RC test today, especially NOT if you have not finished the book yet...you can go take the test today, Friday, or Monday when we go to the library together.

@@@@SPELLING ACTIVITY N--DUE TODAY:
Because of the shortened assembly schedule yesterday, several of the classes did not have sufficient time to work on spelling in class. As a result, I am collecting Spelling Activities at the end of the hour today. Students can use class time to get that work completed, if needed.
@@@@PHINEAS GAGE--TRY TO FINISH!
Today I read pages 59--64 aloud. Students were given the rest of the classtime to read the pages they had skipped and to complete the rest of the book (pages 65--75). Students should be finished with the book by the end of this week.

@@@@SPELLING TEST KLM/SPELLING ACTIVITY:
Because the spelling activity ended up being so difficult to complete, I allowed studnts to use the "Unscramble" side on their spelling tests today. When students were finished with the test, they stapled the activity to the test and handed them both in.
@@@@PHINEAS GAGE TO P. 42:
Once the spelling test was completed, students read independently in the book. We left off somewhere in the p.25-26 area. We are trying to complete the 2nd chapter, ending on p. 42.
