Dear Parents,
I apologize for the lapse in posts! I have fallen behind, needless to say. TAKS is fast approaching so you will notice that the homework packet has both TAKS Reading passages and TAKS formatted math questions. We are working very hard in class, but it would be wonderful if you could look over their math and reading and help them correct mistakes as they work. That prevents them from doing something wrong and not realizing it is wrong. I know this is a lot to ask, but with the nature of this homework packet I often go over things with them well after they have actually completed it. To assist I am including the Answer Key for the four stories in this weeks homework packet. Thank you for your support! Another blog entry will be coming shortly!

Please be advised that these are a bit harder than the passages that have previously been on the TAKS tests. However, I feel that if we practice with these passages then the students will be very confident on the actual test.
Thank you!
Mrs. Zirczy
