Academy Plans for April 27th through May 1st, 2015

Greetings!

"Smarter Balance" (SBAC) testing has arrived, and here's some information for you.  First of all, testing days will take up 1st through 4th periods each day; this week students will be tested on English/Language Arts.  Here's the schedule:

6th grade--Monday & Thursday
7th grade--Tuesday & Friday
8th grade--Wednesday

Now on to class plans for this week:

MONDAY--SBAC Testing, NO HOMEWORK.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY--Students will be given time to work on their rough draft for Trait #3.  It will be DUE THURSDAY.  PLEASE EDIT YOUR STUDENT'S WORK BEFORE HE/SHE TURNS IT IN.

THURSDAY--SBAC Testing, NO HOMEWORK.

FRIDAY--Students will either start on writing introductions & conclusions for their essays, OR the artwork for their covers.  Either way, NO HOMEWORK.

Thank you for the excellent editing!  What a difference between the work the students produced on Trait #1 and Trait #2, and it's all because of those pointers you have given them.  One more trait to go this week, then it's just the introduction & conclusion--home stretch.

As always, please contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have.  The best email address to reach me at is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us and the phone number in the classroom is (360) 264-3644.

Have a wonderful week,
Michele Humble
