Grade 7:
Mrs. Hickey- ALL classes:Students have a quiz on Fish that was announced last week. They have typed notes, a summary sheet that goes with the book, a diagram of a fish that we did and reviewed in class, a Fish “Review and Reinforce” worksheet and their textbook (to study from). We reviewed in class today and made a list of words they should know and may see on the word bank. Tuesday night: Some students need to copy the rough draft of their “Design a Fish” questions. All students should have finished the questions already and turned them in. I corrected questions 10,11,12, and 13 so that the students could fix these on the final draft if they needed to. The rest of the questions I can only correct once students have handed in the final copy of the fish they designed.( the picture). The due date for the picture has not been set as I do not want the paper going home yet. I am afraid it will get folded and/or torn. The students will complete the picture in class.
