Reading and Language Arts

Students completed their end of the unit reading assessment and the students did such a good job. I am very proud of the students and the fact that they really took their time and they looked back for the answers. If everyone does this well on the upcoming Reading Achievement Test, I know that everyone will improve their score from the test taken in October!!

Starting March 5th we will be wrapping up the unit by taking an end of the unit reading assessment, end of the unit writing assessment, and an end of the unit spelling assessment. Look for information to be sent home regarding these assessments.

The end of the unit spelling assessment will be March 12th
