In Language Arts today the students peer edited their literary analysis for ideas and organization.

The students also spent time in class finishing Tuck Everlasting.

The MSTEP Assessment is going to be here before we know it!  All sixth graders were sent home with instructions today on an assignment they will be required to participate in over the break in order to prepare for the MSTEP.  This assignment was explained in class.  Students will be given 10 summative points upon their return from break for completing the assignment. Directions on how to show proof on the completion of this assignment are included in the note students were given and on this blog post.

Have a great evening!
