February 17-20, 2009

Hi! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We’ll start classes on Tuesday beginning our “CRCT BOOTCAMP.” Each day we’ll be taking a look at our CRCT Study Chart and preparing to take our end of the year standardized tests. We’ll continue practicing test strategies daily with CRCT Practice Warm-ups at the start of each class. Please keep good notes in your notebooks! Your homework each night will be to review your daily notes. We’ll continue in ELA with Grammar Lessons in Verb Forms and Tenses. We’ll continue practicing our Reading Strategies while reading AR books in the historical fiction genre. In GA Studies, we’ll finish up Chapter 8, our study on the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln. Study for your test on Friday! See you on Tuesday! Ms. Holden
