Next week, we will be taking the Unit One exam. Over the week-end, the students will complete a study guide for the test and we will continue to prepare for it on Monday. The test is worth 80 points, so please encourage your child to study for it.
Later next week, we will begin reading the novel The Scarlet Letter. Typically, your child will have approximately 15-20 pages of reading for homework per night. Please make sure he/she is completing this work as we will have quizzes each morning to check if the students are reading.
Thank you for your time, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to e-mail me at derickson@d220.org.
