Springboard Preview

Today we dove in to Springboard -- predictable wasn't it-- by doing a worksheet where the students learned the setup of their book. Tomorrow, we start with the real work.

Springboard Prep and Term 1 Papers

Today we prepped for the start of the new Springboard curriculum by passing out the books, getting group responsibilities settled, and making our portfolio. We will look at how the book is organized tomorrow. After getting ready for Springboard, we went into the computer lab and looked at the errors on the term one papers. Students wrote the errors they made on a sheet of paper and made the corrections. Hopefully, this lesson will get them to remember mistakes and not make them on their next paper.

RC

Today students had time to take RC tests, go to the library to borrow books, and get some reading in. These days may be limited as we will begin the Springboard lessons in the next couple of days.

Today was the first day back and we finished up The Outsiders from last term. Afterward, I went over the letter sent home with students about the new curriculum called Springboard. I will be passing out the books next week and we will get started with the activities.
