ISAT Mondays

Every Monday we work out of our ISAT book. We start off with doing part of the pretest and then we complete a lesson out of the book. Last week we learned about prefixes and suffixes, and this week we are learning about root-words. On Monday students will receive homework based on our ISAT lesson and the homework will be due on Thursdays. This way we learn the lesson at the beginning of the week and we come back and review it towards the end of the week.
