Welcome back!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful spring break! It's hard to believe that the end of the year is almost here. We still have to get ready for PASS testing though which is why we are kicking it into review time in Mrs. Rigot's room.

This week students reviewed the powerpoints they made before break, went the book fair, and today they took a test on Grammar and Vocabulary Strategies.  They were allowed to use the powerpoint they created to help them on the test.  Next week we will go over the test together.

Something new we are starting is a nightly PASS review.  Every day or almost every day students will be writing down essential facts related to their English standards.  That night, students must study the day's essential facts for 15 minutes.  After 15 minutes a parent or guardian needs to sign saying that "yes my student did study."

We will be doing this for the rest of April and beginning of May. The students will use all their Essential Facts as a study guide for PASS testing which will be May 7-11.

Keep studying those notes and getting them signed! This will take the place of their usual reading log.
