ELA (April 20-24)

 

Welcome to Week 4

 

This week, there are 7 "paper" items that will count towards your ELA grade.  These assignments are in red.  If you would like to share additional work, you may, but it is not required. We know that everyone is busy and we trust that you are completing the work.  If possible, please return the work the day you complete it.  This will allow us to provide timely feedback to your child. If not, one submission of all assignments by Friday at 3:30 is still an option. Please pick a method that will work best for your family during this time.

 

Two Freckle assignments have been assigned by your ELA teacher.  These assignments are in red. These scores will count towards your ELA grade this week. The assignment will automatically submit once your child answers the questions.
