**Treaty of Nanjing Grades Returned**
I have attached a 20 minute video explaining the “Seven Day Study Plan” and a myriad of other helpful test taking strategies. These strategies can be used in any type of class! Some of the strategies will be useful on the upcoming round of MSTEP tests and a little later on when we hit the NWEA tests for the last time this year. Not to mention final exams.
I am proud of everybody for their tremendous effort on the MSTEP. Keep up the great work!
Today we will continue with the Language Arts portion of the MSTEP.
