On the heels of the Terra Nova Tests have come the Benchmark Tests. Our classes began with the Language Arts Benchmarks today. It made everyone feel good to see that all the skills tested were familiar from the first nine weeks. Hopefully, we applied everything we've learned to the passages in the test. If not, we'll know what we need to work on.
Today marks the end of the nine week period. Report cards are just around the corner. Our slates have been wiped clean, as far as gold notes and detentions. It's time to start anew.
Once more, Canonsburg General Hospital and Project Healthy Children are sponsoring an essay contest to honor the Thanksgiving season. Students are challenged to write a 300 word essay telling about something they are thankful for and why. The essay is due back to Mrs. Mac on November 8th. There are great prizes, and some of the winning entries may be published in the Observer Reporter. We all should be very thankful for what we have. Let's give this writing a shot!
Homework:
Language Arts - Rewrite given paragraph more fluently by using compound and complex sentences.
Math - Practice sheets (2)
Social Studies - Travel Journal assignment is due tomorrow.
PLEASE LOOK AT THE FORM FOR THE "GIVING THANKS" ESSAY!
