Each nine weeks, I will send you the skills that will be taught. There will be a project for each grading period.  There will be a time (especially the 2^nd nine weeks) that we will need parent volunteers to help with a project that Mrs. Hughes and I will be doing together. There may be other times that we will also need your assistance!

 There will be oral/written quizzes in addition to the graded project. There will also be an end of unit test given at the end of the nine weeks. A study guide will be provided several days in advance before the unit test. Look in your child’s assignment book for information on quizzes.
