Language Arts (6th per) We are still blocking these two periods and combining Language Arts with Science. This week we have to catch up on our reading. Reading logs are still due every Friday, which means that all students are still expected to read daily at home for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes. I give students a copy of the  Reading log every Monday or at the latest Tuesday. Future plans: We will practice and review reading strategies as we read through the science textbooks together. Students are also writing daily during this time as they plan and design their labs and then write-up their labs. Students are also answering questions from the textbook using the data they collect in the form of data tables and graphs.
