ELA
Students started working on their Bridge to Terabithia test for chapters 1-7.  It will take 3 classes to complete.  If students have completed all the class activities and can re-tell the content of these chapters to you with detail, they are prepared for the test, and don't need to study.  Students that have missed classes, or can't re-tell the story so far, need to take the time to make sure they are familiar with the content of chapters 1-7 and can either read the chapters they missed, re-read the book, or listen to the story on youtube.

Students are continuing to work on fluency while reading aloud.  Please encourage students to do their 20 minutes of reading aloud over the next few weeks to practice.  If students are struggling with fluency, they need an easier book to read. Some key things to practice are: 

-accuracy (reading and pronouncing words correctly and not dropping or adding words)

-expression (creating mood and characterization)

-rate & clarity (not too fast and not too slow)

-attention to detail (responding appropriately to periods, commas, bold words etc.)
