Wednesday and Thursday you will be completing a diagnostic activity. The purpose of this activity will be for Mrs. Martin and Mr. Pierce to figure out which specific reading and writing skills we will help you with before the test.
We will mark the tests and count them toward your final grade so it is important to give us your best effort.
In order to be ready for tomorrow and Thursday, have a look at the Getting Ready Guide.
