November+3,+2015

Hello, everyone! I am out today in order to present to teachers about technology. Hopefully, I will also learn some cool new things to bring back to our room, too!
Here's what you'll need to be successful today:
 * Chrome book
 * Mouse (if desired)
 * Headphones
 * Pencil
 * Agenda Book
 * DGP sentence
 * "All Summer in a Day" packet you received yesterday (if you need a packet, please ask the sub - there are extras on my desk)

Once you have gathered these items, please proceed to Step One below.
STEP ONE: Take a look at this video to see what you have for homework tonight. Make sure you have your assignment book and a pencil ready!

Hey! Add this to your assignment book: Thursday, November 5 is going to be a Dragon Gear day! Wear your Dragon clothing, or just wear black/green/orange - let's show off our Dragon pride!!

STEP TWO: Take a look at this video to go over the answers to Tuesday DGP. Make sure you have your DGP sentence and a pencil ready!

STEP THREE: Time for the first Study Island Performance Indicator for Language Arts! Woo-hoo! So. Much. FUN!!! Ok, even if it's not the most fun thing you do today, I need you to take it seriously, since this is how I'm going to measure your progress on the area where it seems like people had the most trouble last year. Here's what you'll need to do: 1. Log in to www.studyisland.com 2. Click on my class 3. Do the assignment "7th Grade Performance Indicator 1 201516" 4. Please only do it one time, but make sure you do all 21 questions.

STEP FOUR: With any time that you have left, please work on reading and doing the questions for "All Summer in a Day," which are due tomorrow. If you are a person who enjoys audiobooks, you can actually click here, and I'll read you the story. . . you can pause if you need to answer questions!

STEP FIVE: Wow! You've been productive! If you make it here, you can work on Vocab Unit 4 bookwork or read for ARP.
