Poetry Assessment Project SEVERAL Students are missing this assignment. Progress reports for English will be sent home with student who are failing. If your child is failing, please have them attend after school tutoring to get caught up BEFORE the end of the six weeks. Poetry assessment needs to be taken care of this week.
Self Selected Reading (test grade) can be turned in this week for 10 extra credit points. This assignment is a super way to boost grades. For the 10 extra points, students need to book conference with me before 10/30. Forms to fill out are in the google classroom.
