Mrs. Melanie Davis « Teacher Connection / Documents / Calendar

 

The 3rd quarter was a busy one in ELA. Students were reading, analyzing, writing, etc. Most recently, students have been working hard at honing their writing skills in order to be prepared for 9th grade PreAP English and for the upcoming state writing assessment. After the writing assessment, we will be moving into our non-fiction/historical fiction unit.

Just a few date reminders for the 4th quarter: April 4th-State Writing Assessment, May 10th-AR Due

 

Thank you for a great year,

Mrs. Davis
