subject study

     This week was chock full of ISAT testing, although teachers were able to see most of their students twice.  In Reading, students finished their biographies, and are working on comparing it with a biographical article they looked up on the internet.  They will use both sources of information to develop a "coffee talk" with another student.  Each will dress up as the person they have studied, to discuss early life, career, accomplishments, and legacy.  These talks will take place next week.

     In grammar, we are ending a unit on verbs, and will soon begin one on adjectives.  Vocabulary is proceeding as well, with a review on units 4 - 6.
