Tuesday Sept 11th

Reading goals and independent reading!  Today students set a goal, a rationale, and a plan for their reading this term.  Goals must be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time sensitive) in order to be effective.  All goals are in pencil and will be updated next day to ensure that they meet the SMART criteria.

Students went to the library in order to sign out novels that will support their reading goals.  Remember you must read at least 30 minutes a day in order to improve your reading and writing skills.  You ALWAYS have English homework...to find time and space to read.

For Thursday:  1.  independent novel must be brought to class on Thursday
                        2.  Classroom expectations quiz - ensure that you review course outline material, where important spots in the class are, and know my contact details
                        3.  Parent slips - go over course materials, have a parent sign...
                        4.  Binder set up - Thursday will be your day to receive 5 marks for your binder set up - ensure that you follow the directions provided
                         5.  READ!!! Get into your independent novel!
