Comparar distintos personajes.

This marks the END of the 1st Qt. .. All grade scores for this quarter have thus far been posted with the exception of the Project Paragraph Assignment Due this coming Monday, October 18th.

The MAP POP TEST was an overwhelming success for both the 7th and 8th graders.  The combined scores of this Test and the extra points earned by the majority of students from the @Home Tutor assignment reports boosted students' grades by one or sometimes two letter grades.  Congratulations! Your hard work paid off!  Now, we are off to Unit 2 and 3 for the 2nd Quarter which will commence next Monday, Oct. 18 as we begin the 1st Week of the 2nd Quarter.  Remember, maintaining the vocabulary learned and/or presented thus far in the Preliminary or Unit 1 section, are key components for the successful execution of the Units to come.  So, continue to go back and review the flashcards available at the CLASS ZONE website.

WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT -
