Our first progress report went home on Friday. They are due back no later that Tuesday the 16th. Any student who does not have it back by Tuesday will be assessed a $1.00 a day fee. (that's Gibbo Dollars)
We had our first STORE day on Friday, and many students got to spend some of their money on treats. Any student who came to school with his or her Read & Respond form unsigned was not allowed to shop. A few students chose to save all their money. Some have chosen to deposit their cash into the Gibbo Bank....wise choice!
We had our first Selection Test on the story Earthquake Terror this past Friday. We did awesome, the average score was in the 80's. The lowest score was a 65, and 10 students scored a 100%.
We are well on our way to finishing our first writing project "Scary Stories". They will be posted on the bulletin board outside Room 71 and 73 over the next few weeks, as well as on the Gibbon/Whitelaw Writing blog, thewritingapes.blogspot.com.
