Friday, May 2

The Plan:



This week, the students will focus on reading and taking the open-book quizzes over chapters 14 and 15 of The City of Ember.They will be taking the End of the Year Writing Benchmark this Thursday and Friday in class. Next week, the students will be in the computer lab taking the Reading and Language Arts Performance Tests.



Because of the Performance testing and the End of the Year Writing benchmarks coming up in class, the students will not be required to turn in a 4th quarter Book Report Form for their Independent Reading Book.That way, they will be able to devote their time to finishing The City of Ember and completing the final project for that book.
