This week in English we started to delve more deeply into the plot development of the novel The Testing. Students are working both collaboratively and independently on various tasks, some of which are accruing points for the "colonies" to which they are assigned. Next week we will continue to analyze the characters' development throughout the chapters as well as setting and conflicts. Chapter reading is assigned regularly; make sure your child is reading every day. Please be reminded that the ELA is next week, April 5-7. Classes will meet after the exam for shortened periods on each of those days.
