| Creating 2D & 3D figures |
This week the students have spent time preparing and practicing for the upcoming MCAS test. The Long Composition is new to students and so a "dress rehearsal" of sorts was given. The children were given a prompt and worked very hard applying the techniques taught this year. Comments and conferences were given so students had feedback. We are looking forward to sharing what we know this coming Tuesday!
