"You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today."
- Abraham Lincoln Monday morning will start with the AZ Merit Writing assessment. Students have grown in their confidence as writers this quarter and should be excited to show off their new skills during this testing time. Please ensure that students eat breakfast and are well rested for test days. Snacks should be reasonable and healthy to suit the individual needs of your child. We will wrap up our unit on Across Five Aprils with a seminar discussion on Tuesday and a end of book assessment on Thursday. After AZ Merit testing is over next week, we will begin reading A Wrinkle in Time, which students will receive a classroom copy of to read. Focus will be placed on reading comprehension through asking questions out loud, and review of literary elements and devices used in literature and poetry. Scholars will receive a copy of The Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln's famous speech, for memorization and recitation. Have a great week!
