October 12- October 16


Grade 7


Students will be participating in classroom diagnostic writing testing this week in the computer lab.  Testing will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.  All students grades 7-11 are required to take the assessment.  Due to the shortened week and the testing, we will not have a new vocabulary unit this week. On Thursday and Friday we will pick up where we left off with main idea and supporting details.  We will also continue to work on our student generated assessments, which are due at the end of the period on Friday.


Please note: Students may retake any assessment in English class during the marking period.  Our focus is on learning.  If a student doesn't succeed the first time, I want him to keep trying until he does!  Students may also revise writing assignments to improve upon the grade.  If a student would like to retake a test the student should see me to make arrangements.  Students are aware of this policy.
