We will continue text features of genres, such as the genre of folk tales. Legends, tall tales, fairy tales, fables, and myths fall under the genre of folk tales.
The M-STEP begins today for 8th graders at Unis. This is the state mandated standardized test. The 6th graders are slated to go next, followed by the 7th graders. Each grade has about a two-week window for the M-STEP test. Each student will not be testing for a full two-weeks.
NWEA testing will begin April 18 through May 13. We do not have the schedule yet. This is merely the testing window. Please remind your son/daughter about the importance of both tests. The results of the tests will be used to place students for next year, such as being in an elective or being placed in enrichment. Enrichment is a class that allows each student to receive further instruction in areas such as math or reading.
Congratulations to the students that are going to the Detroit Tigers game this afternoon versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.
