So what will we be doing??
This year we will be reading..
The Count of Monte Cristo The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Nineteen Minutes Holes
Along with reading these books, we will focus on vocabulary development, comprehension, and writing various forms of responses.
Part of the work in my class will be based on effort, while the other half will be based on correctness.
A = 100%-90%
B = 89%-80%
C = 79%-70%
D = 69%-60%
F = 59% and under

An example of one of these surveys from a previous year regarding the types of technology I use in my classroom is below:
