All core subjects were shortened today due to MSTEP testing. The same scenario will occur tomorrow. Many of the students in class are on different tasks because of the testing they have been dong recently. During class today the students were given time to catch up things they needed to work on in class since the marking period is ending this Friday.
Due to the testing, I had to take down our beautiful student-made Figurative Language and Genre boards. I have added pictures to this blog post for everyone to admire their hard work identifying these story elements this year.
