A marked test on Chapters 1 to 3 of the class novel we are reading together (“The Secret World of Og” by Pierre Berton) was handed back today (Friday).  Students were asked to put it in their homework duotang so that parents could see it.  Every few chapters there will be another test on what we’ve read, ending with a final test when the book is complete.  These tests will go toward forming part of students’ Language Arts grade for the term.  The Language Arts report card grades consists of  spelling, reading, writing, speaking and listening work.  (I often wish I could give a report card grade for each area, rather one overall grade for five areas!)
