Tuesday - Vocabulary Search
Today we had a bit of a snafu on what we wanted to do. Due to wireless limitations we elected to search out the vocabulary sheet of terms and concepts the old fashioned way. We used textbooks and dictionaries. Some students who had access to 3G and 4G or had previously downloaded of line dictionary type apps could use their phones or iPods off the wireless connection. The vocabulary list is available on yesterday's post. It is not due tomorrow but students should be moving forward on gathering the information as a self assessment will take place on Friday to see where they have progressed. After ISTEP week we will have an assessment that will be scored as a grade. I will update you when that date nears and is finalized. Note! It will be after ISTEP week. You may complete the sheet in hard copy form or on Google Docs or a combination of both. You may also choose flash cards or any other mode we have looked at so far this year. You have that option or choice.
