After silent reading time today, we did a "Status of the Class" with our novels. This is where each student tells the book he or she is reading, current page number, and little about the part he or she is at currently in the book, without revealing too much information to give away the plot. "Status of Class" is a quick way for me to see if students are reading and understanding what they are reading; plus, it's a great way to advertise books, so students get an idea of good books out there.
Next, we finished the discussion questions from the short story "The Monkey's Paw." First hour had a great class discussion over the story and some of the events. Sadly, I won't see second hour until Thursday (because of the MEAP), and fifth hour will have the class discussion over the short story tomorrow.
The math MEAP will be given tomorrow during first, second, and third hours. The science MEAP will be on Wednesday.
