Lit. Skills

We will present our book projects on Monday. We will have AR reading for the remainder of the week. Students are encouraged to take as many AR tests as possible or do alternative assignments. I do not have that many grades for Lit. Skills this trimester so it is important to get in as many AR points as possible.

LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT ALL . ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE ON THE DAY ASSIGNED. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS A STUDENT WHO IS OUT ILL.
