Hi! Today we worked on fact and opinion with the characters of Winn Dixie. We also took a practice Reading ISAT test!!! Then we worked on reviewing Math concepts for Graphing with heart candies! Students will have to complete review pages in ISAT coach listed below. Pages seem like a lot, but really there are some pages with only 2 problems on the page, so it's not really that much.
