What is Smarter Balanced Assessment?

September 29 and 30

We will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessment in the Spring.  It will test the standards that we will be learning throughout the school year.  I wanted to give you a peak at what you will be doing for that test.

You will do some practice items - for about 20 minutes in class and then we will have a group discussion about the test and what we need to focus on this year.

We will not comment on this post!

Smarter Balanced Practice Test - I will give you step by step directions for how to do this in class!

Gonzales, TX, Dress Code

September 11 & 12

Today in class we read and annotated an article about the dress code in Gonzales, Texas.  On this blog, I'd like you to comment with your thoughts about the policy.  You will then reply to others' posts.

When you've done that, you need to try to find out what their policy is now.  We will discuss their new policy as well as how you found it in class.
