The Wiki

We will be answering Peck questions on the Wiki for the rest of the school year. You will use your library book, or other approved novel, to complete the journal entries and comments for the wiki. During the 5th six weeks, we will complete two journal entries and four comments.

SAT Vocabulary for 5th Six Weeks

The Myriad Operations Vocabulary quizzes have been passed back. If you'd like to raise your score for that quiz, you must write a creative story using all the words you missed correctly. The length of the story will depend on the number of words you missed. If you missed between 3 and 6 words, write a two page story. If you missed between 7 and 11, write three pages. If you missed 12 or more, then write four pages. Stories must be creative! Due: 3/23 (1st, 3rd) or 3/24 (2nd, 4th).
