English and Washington State History

English: This week we had our 2nd day of MAP testing (math this time) - i will try and conference with each student regarding their Reading score and I will be happy to share this with adults as well when we get to conferences. Students should be reading their choice book at home and be at least 3/4 of the way through by Monday. We will do a project on this book in class next week.

History: The grades for the chapter 1 quiz (blocks 2 and 3) are entered now so you can check them on parent-access if you would like. We are watching a video called, Sculpted by Floods and we will look at chapter 2 and begin building our wa. st. maps in small groups by Wednesday of next week. There will be a fairly comprehensive test in a couple of weeks that will cover the cities and geographic details of Washington.
