Much of the work that students do in reading and writing is in Google Classroom. Students can complete assignments, access class materials, and receive feedback on Google Classroom. For example, a PowerPoint with all of the powerful language that we have learned this year is linked to the Reading Class on Google Classroom. Similarly, audio of To Kill a Mockingbird is linked to the class, as well as some of the vocabulary and quick comprehension quizzes that they have taken.
In order to access Google Classroom, go to classroom.google.com. Students will need to log in using their DGS email. Email: [email protected] Passwords: First initial Last initial Lunch number For example, if I were a student at DGS, my email would be [email protected] and my password would be am765423. Some students have changed their passwords or there is another student with the same first name and last initial, so a few students have slightly different email addresses. Please email me at [email protected] if you are having trouble logging into your child's account. I can reset passwords and confirm email addresses.

We have a lot going on in literacy this week.
We'll continue reading To Kill a Mockingbird. On Tuesday, we will do a close read of Chapter 3 and students will read Chapters 3-6 this week. Students will have time in class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to read. They also have 30 minutes of DEAR time every day to read. While we're reading, we will be studying conflict in literature. On Thursday we will review the types of conflict and on Friday we will work on writing ACE responses using vocabulary from the definitions. For a quick refresher on types of conflict, here is the PowerPoint that students will use on Thursday. Lastly, the students have been working on pivotal moment stories. The first draft of those stories are due on Wednesday, October 12th. Students submit their stories on Google Classroom. Stories should be two pages, double -spaced with a header on each page that includes full name, date, reading block. Students have rubrics and checklists in the writing section of their binders that they can use to self-assess themselves before submitting their work. |
