ACCELERATED READER- Students should be reading AR books and taking tests. We are almost half way through the nine week period. Please ask your child how he/she is doing toward his/her goal.

CRCT ONLINE TESTS- Please continue taking online tests. I’ve only heard from ~1/3 of the students saying that they have tried the tests at home. Let me know what you’re missing on the tests, and we can make sure we go over that information at school. Remember we have two and ½ more months of school before we take the test. Lots more teaching left.
