Testing Tuesday!

I was very impressed with the focus and attention students gave to today's ISTEP. Students used all the allotted time and worked hard. Everyone was well prepared with the necessary supplies and looked well rested. Do the same for tomorrow! Great job today!

P. 2,3,6: We plunged into the William and Mary  Persuasion unit today...finally! The overarching theme is "change," so we began with analysis of Robert Frost poetry related to the same topic. I shared with students that when I lived in New Hampshire, I lived in the town neighboring the Robert Frost Farm. I loved visiting (many times) and looking at the scenery and surroundings that inspired him. I have interesting information to share!

P. 1, 5: Period 1 was mostly testing. In P.5 students reviewed their compare/contrast essays and revised one paragraph - their most needy paragraph. After that, they started a new noredink assignment on confusing words.

No homework...rest up for ISTEP tomorrow!

Thank you!
