2nd Trimester is going great. Students have completed their 2nd Trimester's benchmark tests,  have learned how to write OREO-style argumentative paragraphs, are actively reading their 10 required i-Reads for this trimester, and are reading/recording important information in their history fair project's sources. This is what we've been doing day-by-day:
