Students received envelopes today with Q3 report cards in them. Some students also received Retention Alert letters. The purpose of these letters is to alert parents that their child may be in danger of not passing on to the next grade. Many students are failing classes, and/or have below level reading scores which puts their academic success in jeopardy.
Parents, please read over ALL of the forms and materials that are in your child's envelope. Remember to sign the envelope ASAP, and send it back to school with your child. Thanks! Today 6th grade students read a non-fiction text about Disney's Space ride called Mission: SPACE. Students showed interest in this topic because many of them have been to Disney, or said they plan on going this summer. To activate prior knowledge, we watched a video simulation of the ride on YouTube. Students were excited to see the inside of the space ride and wanted to learn more. The text allowed students to practice their comprehension skills, vocabulary and inference.
We are continuing to build up comprehension skills in our READ 180 class. Today 7th grade students a short video about Koko, the gorilla. Koko was known world wide for learning how to communicate with humans through sign language. Students then read a non-fiction article about Koko practicing their skills in comprehension, vocabulary and using context clues.
Students seem to enjoy learning about Koko the gorilla! |
