Yesterday letters went home to some parents regarding our upcoming tutoring program at Smitha. Students who have been identified as needing extra support received letters. Our tutoring program begins on October 23rd and ends December 15th. Please check with your child to see if a letter was sent home with them.

Today students took the Mock Writing Assessment. Students stayed in their Homeroom's to take this practice writing test.
This assessment is given to student as practice in developing their writing skills. Students were given a specific topic to read and write about. Student's then wrote a pre-write, rough draft, and final draft to finish up the assessment. Hoping that all of my students continue to improve and develop their writing skills! Students have been busy working on writing their first book reviews. A book review is an opportunity for students to showcase their writing and design skills by responding to literature. Through writing the book review, students will put into practice their knowledge of story elements, summarizing, sharing an opinion about literature, and making book recommendations. Students will also use their artistic skills to draw and design an original cover for the book. As I review student work, I'm already seeing some really great book reviews. With student permission I will post some of the best book reviews right here on our blog! Stay tuned! |
