Welcome back! Today we covered some housekeeping items for the semester. A letter was sent home with all students. Please review the letter and new homework policy. The bottom portion needs to be detached, signed, and returned by Monday, January 13. Students worked in their new STAD groups, working on the unit's guided reading worksheets. This activity will primarily be completed in class because we will be using a different textbook for this unit. There is not a set due date for the guided reading at this point. The map worksheet is the homework assignment that is also due on Monday. Students are able to use their regular textbook to find the necessary information. I will also be posting a very useful map on here later this evening.
