Congratulations, Emily!


Announcements and Reminders: 
We will be completing the SAGE writing tests for B5, B7, and B8 on Wednesday, April 2.
B6 will finish up as a class on Friday, April 4.
If you have missed any of the testing days, we will arrange make-up testing on an individual basis.
The SAGE reading tests will be administered in May. See our class calendar below.

If you need to make up the district writing test, plan on a day after school.  Let me know when you can stay for about 45 minutes or so. 
So, don't procrastinate. 
The Three R's for Success: 
Take Responsibility.
Read the Instructions.
Use Your Resources.  (Use the class blog -- read about what we do each day, download handouts, examine examples and explanations and other helps on the blog.  Use the time you are given in class to work on your assignments.  If you don't know what you are supposed to be doing in class, look at what most of the other students are doing, or read the class agenda on the whiteboard and or on the projection screen, and,  if you still need to, ask.)


Today’s Agenda:
1.  Read and prepare your answers and index card for your March Book of the Month.  We will begin the interviews next time, April 2.
