IANs due this week!

I will collect 6th and 7th on Wednesday and the rest (1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th) on Thursday (although if you are in those classes and yours is ready, you can turn it in early).  You will have a few minutes to put it together and fill in the table of contents tomorrow (Wednesday).  I will be grading pp.100-114.   (That is a lot of pages, so find all the "stuff" that goes in there!)

Almost done w/English 1 STAAR!

Keep the focus and do your best on the reading test tomorrow...You got this! (Especially when you can find good textual evidence for the OER/short responses.  *wink*)

Good luck, kiddos,
Ms. A
