We're doing some great work with our book club novels! This week, we're turning our attention to getting to know the characters, practicing first with our SSR novels, so please encourage your student to be bringing an HF or Sci-Fi novel to class to read for SSR.
STAAR Math and Reading takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. We've been preparing all year, and have spent the last few weeks focusing on things that good readers do, like noticing and noting authors' road signs, looking for connections to the text, and getting to know our characters. Students will receive their testing room assignments on Wednesday this week, and more information about testing day will be given on our "Advisory Stay Day" next Monday, when students report to their testing rooms.
