Today all classes spent time working on their reading notes for tomorrow’s first book club meeting. If your child has not finished the reading notes using notetaking strategy 1, 2, 3, or 4, he/she must complete these tonight–they count as a quiz grade. I reviewed these Monday and again yesterday (Wednesday) in class. In addition, I have shown all classes and students where to find the help video if they needed to see the mini-lesson again or were not sure what to do. It is posted both on this blog as well as the announcement section of Canvas.
Students who completed notes could also complete the book club meeting prep sheet we reviewed in class today.
Here are the things students need to have completed tonight and ready for tomorrow:
- Completed the assigned reading for this week for his/her book; every child has a reading schedule for his/her book club book.
- Complete and thorough reading notes using one of the four strategies reviewed twice in class this week and available virtually. Quiz grade.
- Bring the book club book.
- Complete the prep sheet issued today (talking points)–daily grade.
- Be ready to be an active participant and listener in the book club meeting tomorrow—test grade.
Today students received information about the CHS Career Tech Parent Information meeting happening next Thursday, January 23. See the flyer below for more information.
