Upcoming Assessments
Check with your child's teacher if you have questions!
ELA & Accelerated ELA: Students will continue work on a summative writing assignment this week--this is an argument essay based on the book Lyddie. Students will work on this daily up until the due date which is December 9th. They will turn in a completed graphic organizer on Wednesday, December 2 for a formative grade and a rough draft on Friday, December 4, for feedback (not graded). Because this essay is written over a period of time with feedback along the way, there is NOT a redo option.
Science: Test on the Circulatory, Respiratory, Digestive, and Excretory Systems on Friday, December 4.
