Lots to do today

Goals: Reading progress, "AOW" and catching up.

Release forms: 
Occasionally people like to visit our classroom to see how we use our computers, collaborate on projects, etc. Sometimes they like to bring cameras. I want to be sure I know parent/guardian preferences about students being in pictures and videos. Today I am sending home a letter and release forms. Please return them asap. Thank you.

Reading Progress Survey:
Please complete the SURVEY to give me a snapshot of where you are as a reader today.

Article of the Week:

• I'm providing some links below. 
• Examine one or more of them closely. 
• Write two paragraphs in your English Journal. The first should be about what looked at and what you found. The second should be what you think about what you found.
