Comments about recent formative assessments

Grammar Quiz:  Students who missed three or more questions should make sure that they complete their daily language review completely.  They should ask questions if they need assistance, and they need to make sure they write down the correct answers.  Students who make these efforts should see their writing improve and they should preform well on future assessments.

AR Book Goal:  Many students didn't meet their AR point goal, which is surprising because the vast majority of students have been taking AR tests for years and I see students reading books of their choice.  For homework, students should read their personal books for 30 minutes daily at least 5 days a week. 

TKAM Quiz:  Students should make sure they use class time wisely to finish their reading and complete the classwork.  When students don't finish tasks in class, they are to complete  them as homework.
