Language Arts Interim

Hello Parents!

Our first interim assessment for language arts is just around the corner. On October 24, your child will be taking an exam which will cover several topics.

Parts of Speech ~ Students will need to identify and explain the purpose of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and pronouns. 

Spelling ~ Students will be tested on grade level words from the Sitton units that we have covered.

Expository/Informational Writing ~ Students will plan, edit and write a 3-paragraph essay over the course of 2 days.  Students will be tested on their ability to organize their writing, use a strong topic sentence, utilize transitions and an effective conclusion.
