Parents and Students: ISTEP testing is the week of March 11, 12, and 13. Since it is always best for students to test in a familiar space, please try to avoid absences (for appointments, etc.) on those days. When students make up a test, it may be in an area of the school that is unfamiliar to them...this can make a difference in their performance. Let's make this a great ISTEP year!
All classes: Students, you have been working so hard practicing short and long responses to writing. I am amazed at how much oyu have learned! Now, the challenge is to take what you have learned in language arts and apply it to your other classes! Carry that information in your big 'ole brains down the hall and into other classrooms. You have many tools from which to choose!
P. 1,4 practiced short short answer responses from Jackie's Nine.
P. 2,5,6 practiced long written responses form Persuasion.
All classes have 9 acuity activities due tomorrow!
Stay warm tonight!
