Students will earn two test grades this week. The first will be Cold Assessment 2.2 on Monday, and the other will be an essay that requires students to be finished by Friday . They will begin the essay on Tuesday and receive guiding instruction that will allow them to write their essays throughout the week. In addition to these assignments, students will work on finishing The Duel  and all of the assignments associated with this text by Friday.

The Winter NWEA is here. Students will take the reading NWEA on Monday and Tuesday.
