Happy Valentine's Day!


For all classes, today was a Timed Writing Prompt practice. This was done to help prepare for the writing portion of ISTEP. Hopefully, you felt you had a lot of tools to choose from to make your response robust! SUPER JOB staying focused and on-task.

For those of you retaking the appositive and preposition quiz, I have links below to help you practice. The retake is next Wednesday during lunch, and your ticket is the signed slip (parent signature). Try to bring your lunch that day.

H/W: All classes - Predictive C is Tuesday. Please take the time to practice acuity activities this weekend. It is worthwhile for you to do this; it is a skill builder and helps you become familiar with the testing format.

H/W p. 2,6: The Wordmasters test will be next Friday! Yikes! Please keep studying, and go to studystack.com for activities. DMS Wordmasters 2013  and DMS Wordmasters II
