Wednesday is the school-wide ISAT practice test. Students need a healthy breakfast, several sharpened pencils, a calculator, and a good night's sleep. The school schedule will be altered, yet students will still meet in all classes that day. Students have reviewed "Test Taking Strategies" with me in LA, and another copy is under "handouts".
The rough draft of the research paper body paragraphs was due today. A few students still have not completed the outline, which was due several weeks ago, in addition to the rough draft. Please check on line for your student's grades for these activities, as well as for all classes.
As students finalize the Research Project, the last due dates are listed below. Please ask your student to READ his/her essay OUT LOUD to you. This will aid in finding errors and noticing detail. Please do NOT assume that your student has completed everything during school hours.
