ELA - We continued with the sample common assessment that the District has asked us to pilot.  The IRRB - Informational Reading and Research-Based Argument Essay Writing Performance Assessment.  This may not be made up at home.  If students missed yesterday or today (or will miss tomorrow) they will need to come in at lunch to make it up.  This will not be graded as it is meant to be a pre and post test - I will be taking a sample of each class to the next Department meeting to assess if this is a good indicator of our student's skills/knowledge. Remember: AR books/quizzes are due Monday, March 25th.  No late submissions this marking period. I am open every lunch for students to work, take AR quizzes, or read. Homework: READ! Journal #32
