Progress reports go home on Wednesday. If you are concerned over your child’s grade in Reading, then please be sure they complete all assignments and turn them in done correctly and on time.
**IMPORTANT: We will be having a Middle School wide practice TAKS Reading test on Monday, December 17th. We will be scoring these tests and reviewing your child’s progress. For students in my class – they will receive double test credit for this, but I will be grading based on use of strategies taught and learned in class: notes, highlighting, labeling objectives – using all of these to do their best work to try to get the questions correct. Thank your for encouraging your child to put forth their best effort on this practice test.
Next week: we are winding down the semester, so students need to be on top of studying for tests and turning in homework.
