Monday, January 4th

Happy New Year! Welcome back! Now, let's get to work.

Warm-up: Winter Reading Assignment Feedback on Padlet. Find the appropriate link and password for your class period. (I've written the passwords on the board.) Once you've accessed the Padlet and entered the appropriate password, please read and respond to the prompt.

Period 1: http://padlet.com/jgrinnell/grinnell1

Period 2: http://padlet.com/jgrinnell/grinnell2

Period 3: http://padlet.com/jgrinnell/grinnell3

Period 6: http://padlet.com/jgrinnell/grinnell6

Period 7: http://padlet.com/jgrinnell/grinnell7

When you finish writing your response, read at least two of your peers' responses. Have you read any of the books your peers have reviewed?

Grammar: Make sure you complete your grammar packet by the end of the week. I will check for completed packets on Friday, January 8th.

Career Project: Before leaving for Winter Break, you took a career assessment in Career Cruising. Today, you will use your assessment results to narrow your career choices for our Follow Your Dreams Career Project. You will record information about your career choices in a graphic organizer that has been assigned through Google Classroom. The completed graphic organizer will be due by the end of class on Tuesday, January 5th.

Once you've accessed your assessment results in Career Cruising, you will need some more outside resources to help with your career research. Please use these links to help you find more information about your career choices.

Homework: Work on your grammar packet. Read for 25 minutes. Respond to the following prompt in your language arts notebook:

Consider either the protagonist or antagonist of your current independent reading book. Based on the character's physical, social, and emotional characteristics, and also his/her individual skills and talents, what would be a job best suited for the character? Use specific evidence from the text to support your answer.  Write in paragraph form using complete sentences, proper grammar, and correct spelling.
