PTA Update April 22

ENGLISH: (BEHAN, FERRANTE, VETTER)

This week in English, we completed The Testing.  Students finished reading the novel and completed a culminating writing piece.  The RAFT writing assignment was due on Thursday, April 21.  All colony candidates, who were not previously eliminated from the competition, competed in their final challenge, a scavenger hunt.  A winner was determined based on interviews conducted later in the day.  Upon returning from break, we will begin working with Expert 21, Workshop 4, titled, "Breaking Barriers."  Students will also visit the library to find the next independent reading book, a biography book that focuses on an individual who has impacted society.  Enjoy the Spring Break and nice weather!
