Comprehension is improving!

All middle school students are currently developing reading comprehension, vocabulary, and citing textual evidence to support their opinions by reading, discussing, and writing about the excellent literature in our new textbooks.

Our benchmark assessments are progressing well, and I am hearing from Mrs. Dusbabek that comprehension seems to be increasing, so that is wonderful.  I am eager to learn the results from our benchmarks which will be administered over the next couple of weeks.

Mr. Smith will give the the Star Reader test right after Christmas break, so it will great to see those results. I predict the students' AR reading level (which it determined by the Star Reader exam) will increase.

AR points are due on December 19th, so it's a good idea read at home as well as school.

Sixth grade will not have finals, but the seventh and eighth grade will have them the week of the 16th. 

Blessings to everyone! Thank you for your wonderful children.
