English
Did you know that expository writing is almost any type of written language out there other than narrative (story). We will be evaluated on this type of writing on our ISAT Writing Test coming up in a few weeks.

Reading
We will continue working in our ISAT book this week. Students will be reading passages, answering multiple choice questions, and answering a question that requires them to provide an extended response answer. So far, students have been doing a wonderful job turning their question around and using text proof from the author to support their answer.

Math
We will be working in a review packet for ISAT math. Also, we will be working on problem solving and T-charts.
