In our English classroom this week we have been focusing on character analysis charts and reviewing the elements of fiction vocabulary. The students have done a wonderful job of linking the terms to the stories and identifying the meaning of each term from various classroom activities. We started the year with a pretest to find out what terms the students knew. Now they are beginning to show growth through formative learning experiences.
A great deal of time is devoted to learning how how to manage laptops and use them as a communication tool for English. We continue to address proper handling procedures and responsible behaviors. Responsibility is a key factor which needs to be demonstrated in order to process information with the laptops on a daily basis.
I enjoy finding out each day how talented the students truly are from the discussions we have and the work they produce. On Fridays, if the students have all of their weekly tasks accomplished, then a free time is earned and learning programs are explored through the use of technology.
Many thanks for your continued support!
