Language Arts Binder: Students have a language arts binder that stays in the Language Arts classroom. It contains four sections: Independent Reading, Reading Notes, Writing Notes, Vocabulary.
Writer's Notebook: This spiral notebook stays in the language arts classroom with their Language Arts binder.
Vocabulary Notebook: This is the section in the Language Arts binder where students define new/frequently used words they will encounter in Language Arts throughout their academic career.
Independent Reading: During independent reading time, students are allowed to read a novel of their choice. Students receive one point per day for having their novel in class and using their reading time. Students who disrupt the learning of others, or who do not have a book to read lose their daily point.
Absent Box: If a student is absent, he/she can find everything that we did during the days that he/she was gone, in the Absent Box. This box also contains extra handouts for those students who have lost work or missing assignments.
