We went to the library today due to MSTEP testing tomorrow and the library being closed to accommodate this. 

We did some “Listen to Reading” practice for SSR so we can familiarize ourselves with this portion of the MSTEP and feel confident with this section of the test in a few weeks.

The remainder of class was working on Folktale projects.  While students were working with their groups I conferred with students on the Compare and Contrast IBC. I will finish with this tomorrow.
