MCAS DAY ONE UPDATE

Families of Room 31 ~

 Watching the kids work today through their ELA MCAS truly brought tears to my eyes!    The effort that they put forth was outstanding! I watched the students follow all the strategies, highlight key words, find the answer in the text and highlight it as well as  plan out their open response / essays using pillars and writing diamonds to answer their essays.     They should all have huge smiles on their faces based on their effort, yet they will be tired.   Many students worked past lunch, yet all finished and were able to have at least part of their gym class this afternoon!  They deserve a GIGANTIC round of applause!!! 

Let's hope the same effort is put forth tomorrow!   Remember... a good night's sleep, a hearty, healthy breakfast, water and TWO healty snack will help ensure their energy for the day!
Congratulations on a job well done

Don't forget that FIELD TRIP permission and money is due this Wednesday.  Also, tomorrow the students should return their media books and bring their recorders.
