Mrs. Cates January 6-9, 2009

**A.R. point goal for this grading period is 5 points by March 17 (2.5 points byFeb. 2). Test percent goal is 85%. Students are required to read at least 20 min. 3 times/wk. (this can include the weekend), complete a reading log, and have it signed by a parent. Reading logs are checked on Friday. New this grading period: students need to read at least one chapter book and at least one non-fiction book. They will also create and present a book report--information will be given to students in the next week or so.

1/2 & 3/4 Periods: We will review the Benchmark Assessment students were given before break. This is an assessment of the strategies and skills we have worked on so far this year. We will be reviewing and correcting answers, as well as focusing on writing a complete short answer response. We will also be meeting in small groups to work on specific skills (based on student needs). Homework this week: **Read**

7/8 Reading: Students will work on summarizing, character, setting, plot, and decoding skills. Homework: Read.
