Test Corrections
Test corrections are meant to review their mistakes and will receive half-credit if returned with corrections to improve your child’s grade. Students have a week to complete corrections. They may turn them in any day of the week.
Writing Essay
Our first essay will be an informative writing. Two (2) topics will be assigned – Augustinian Saints and Sports. Students will be provided with exemplar and essay maps to guide them in completing the work. We will start working on the Saint project/essay in 2 weeks. Everything will be completed in class.
Please make sure that your child has access to Google Docs that are linked to their school email. Personal or parents email will work on the docs that I am going to assign to them.
