Welcome Back! Lets jump right into our TCAP review!

In an effort to review before TCAP testing, over the next few weeks, we will be conducting a thorough review of much of the material covered during the course of this school year. Students will complete a variety of activities including reading comprehension activites to identify main ideas, figuartive language, and point of view. Additionally, grammar lessons will be re-examined to see if additional teaching is needed in some areas. The material during this review period will be different for each class so that I can focus on the individual needs of the students and avoid mundane review that isn’t necessary. If you have specific questions regarding the daily assignments, please feel free to send me an email, and I will be happy to give you a detailed agenda for the class period in question.

TCAP will be here before we know it!
