A Busy Monday Here at TJ

Well it's always nice to hit the ground running as they say. This morning when the students arrived fresh off their weekend, we had our first Health class with Ms. Huber. We also had our first computer lab with Mr. Evans where we worked on a Virginia Native Americans webquest and took a look at where in VA each tribe lived as well as how they used their environment to SURVIVE. Feel free to check out the webquest and see what we did today. Click on the word webquest and you should end up there.

Do you see all the pieces fitting into place? In science we are talking about plants, social studies Native Americans, and Literature reading Survival themed books. School is so much fun when everything ties in and the kids can make so many great connections.

This afternoon I began my QRIs with your children (Qualitative Reading Inventory) to assess their word recognition and comprehension skills. The first part I completed, but the 2nd part will have to wait for now.
