Section 2- Reading was today's PSSA focus.  I am most proud about our students showing grit and perseverance through the process.  Nearly every student applied strategies for reading and drafting to answer questions.  It was wonderful to see students use all their time, check their work and really do a great job from my over-viewing observations.  We watched this TEDtalk in the afternoon to talk about building character and connections to this morning:

In the afternoon, students continued to create their group PowerPoint presentations.

Next week starting Monday will begin two more math and two more reading sections of PSSA.  Please get a great night sleep and a healthy breakfast in for Monday.

No homework again for the weekend.
