ELA: Students were given the hour to read their next chapter section in a quiet and supportive atmosphere. This allows students to address questions with me in a timely manner, rather than not understand an event or chapter and breeze by it. Homework: Read - remember this marking period a total of 3 AR quizzes are due, our Historical Fiction books count as one.
