CLASS NEWS

In our Storyline, which takes place in Colonial America circa 1770’s, the students have now “become” residents of a colonial towne somewhere in the Northeastern colonies. They chose jobs, characters and we’re now constructing the towne.

In conjunction with our Storyline the students are reading a variety of historical novels set in colonial times. Each week we meet in Literature Groups to discuss these books.

State tests continued this week (TESA) we took the reading test. Next up is the science test. Students are able to take up to three test in a subject, keeping only their best score.
