Week of March 9

FCAT week is finally upon us!  As you well realize, this week is FCAT testing for our students and, as a result, most of the children will come to my class only 4 days this week.  On Monday, the students will complete their study of "My Greatest Ambition" with a shared inquiry discussion.  In this discussion, the students will discuss why the main character chooses not to pursue his greatest ambition by delving deeper into the context of the story and analyzing the events that led to Morris's decision to give up his ambition.

I will be leading a discussion on the topic of leadership on Tuesday and Wednesday.  On Thursday we will be reviewing what we have learned so far this semester in preparation for the mid-term exam.  I will administer the mid-term exam on Friday.  This exam will cover all of the Covey (7 Habits) material discussed so far, the requirements of an accurate written response and the vocabulary words from "Through the Tunnel" and "My Greatest Ambition."
