Jim Returns

After turning in all of the homework from last week:

Treasure Island Letter
Crossword Puzzle
Anchor Piece Sentence Fluency Revision

We got the great news that 74% of all the 7th graders scored 90% or higher on last week’s DLW sentences. Only the people who didnot recieve 90% or higher have to keep doing DLW sentences. Since there are fewer students who have to do the DLW, Mrs. Scales will not be writing the sentences on the board each day. Instead those people who haeve to do the DLW sentences were given a handout with all five sentences and instructions to write each sentence corretly on their own paper and turn it in by Friday.

The rootword test was then taken on moodle.

Next, we reviewed the newest character in Treasure Island Ben Gunn. Benn has been marooned on the island for the last three years. Naturally, he is a little crazy from being all alone for so long. He really wants some cheese. He sees the British flag flying over the stockade and tells Jim that it must be his friends. Jim then makes his way to the stockade and is reunited with his friends, Dr. Livensey, Squire Telawney and the others.
