The sentence types/parts test in English Composition will take place on Tuesday. I had originally scheduled it for Friday (9/15), but I felt the students had more to learn before the assessment. Your students actually became teachers and prepared mini lessons to share with the class on this topic. We will finish presenting student lessons tomorrow. They have done a great job thus far! They gave me some great ideas to use in the future. The pictures below are from their presentations.
Please note the following important dates:
- "Two Kinds" First Read 4-Square is due by the end of the day on Tuesday (if not already turned in)
- "Two Kinds" Storyboard is due by the end of the day on Tuesday (if not already turned in)
- CDT tests are due September 22nd (if not already completed)
- Beginning-of-the-year testing (Pearson) is due September 29th (if not already completed)
