Students worked on using the R.A.C.E. method to answer a journal question, and we also discussed improving their study space at home.  *Reminder – Grammar p. 213, #11-20 is due Thurs., 9/9.

9/7/10

9/9/10

Students were assigned p. 213 in their grammar books, #11-20, due on Thurs., 9/9.  We also discussed organizing our study space at home so students can study most efficiently. 

9/3/10

9/7/10

We continued working on the R.A.C.E. method today.  I then checked agendas for parent signatures, and students’ lockers to ensure they are keeping them organized.  Students are to have their agendas color-coded through December by Tues., 9/7.

9/2/10

Students were taught the “R.A.C.E.” method of answering questions.  This method requires that they Restate the question, Answer the question with, “I know this because”, Cite information/details, and Elaborate on those details.  Students will practice using this method to answer journal/reflection questions, essay questions, etc., in all their subject areas. 

9/1/10

Students agendas were checked for parent signatures, grammar books handed out, and students began responding to a journal entry on the board. 

8/31/10

I taught a guidance lesson on “Bullying” to the classes. 

8/30/10

Students took a grammar pre-test.  They will only receive a completion grade on this assignment, as it’s an opportunity for me to evaluate their knowledge before we cover the items on the pre-test in class. 

8/27/10

Students organized their lockers according to their schedule.  They should have a 12 inch shelf to place their binder on, and their books below, according to their schedule.

8/26/10

Students organized their binders according to their schedules, and then wrote out their schedules on index cards to keep in their binders and lockers.

Parents:

Please ensure you are checking and signing your child’s agenda each day.  There is a section at the bottom which states “P/T Comments”.  This is the place to sign.  I will be checking students’ agendas daily for signatures, so please make the time for this.  It allows you to see what occurred in each class and if your child has any homework that night.  Thanks for your help with this!
