I'm HAPPY!! Go Jags!!!
Summer Reading is due on Sept. 29th! Students will have the wonderful opportunity to participate in Socratic Seminars! We will have great discussions about our books, Lord of the Deep and Elijah of Buxton! Yea!
We will have our next Selection test on Tuesday as well!
Progress Reports will come home this week! I'm proud of my students and their progress in the sixth grade at Julia Landon!
Make certain that your child has completed both writing pieces and they are in the 'yellow' folder. Speak with them about these assignments and see how they are progressing with their writing!
Can you believe this nine weeks is almost over?? Time goes by fast when you are having FUN!!! Are we having fun yet??
Keep reading and recording and being very conscience about school and your responsibilities!
Let's think of our Leadership standards with Covey's 7 Habits - Think Win-Win!!
Talk to you next week!!

My Test/ Writer's Workshop
Hello,
My Test, the computer program had a glitch last week so we actually took the test via paper and pen/pencil. I only graded it for comprehension but students received their scores! The program is now up and running so Team A will take the Formative Mini Assessment with Mrs. Putnal as she's on the schedule this work for the computer lab!
All classes will work very diligently on their writing pieces to edit and complete their final draft for their portfolio's. Students will have a cover page which will tell them what should be in their portfolio that we will keep in the classroom.
We took our second Selection test from the story, Becky and the Wheel-and-Brake Boys on Friday! Students grades are increasing as well as their comprehension and understanding of this type of test format. I am pleased with the progress that is being made by all students and the care of concern of my parents!
As for the Jags, I hope we will be victorious TODAY!!!! Go Jags!!
Friday is College Day so encourage your student to support their favorite college!!

My Test
Go Jags!!!
First, I'm very excited about a new program that Duval County has implemented, My Test!!
This program will allow our students to take various assessments on the computer. This is wonderful as this system will grade the assessment on the spot and this will save on copies which eventually save on trees (Going Green)!! ;-0
Our first opportunity will be on Thursday, Sept. 18th as we will venture to Compass Odyssey. The think my class will be the guinea pig???!!!
This program will assess and assist the students with incorrect answer if a student miss a question it will send them to a link with information about the correct answer, how cool is that?? My students will have the opportunity to take this assessments (3) times to ensure comprehension. I very excited about "My Test"!!!
Please continue documenting in reading Logs nightly and checking agenda's daily as students are asked to write down homework and well as classwork so they can stay on top of things and you as a parent can be aware of what was covered in class that day!
Be sure to check engrade and view the calendar for the entire week. It will always be posted before Monday of that approaching week! Go Jags!!!!
