Second Quarter
Reading is Understanding
Writing is Making Other People Understand
During this Quarter, we'll join Springboard, an innovative new curriculum sponsored by the people who write the SAT and AP tests. It's an excellent, well-designed tool that will give students the skills they need to read and write at the highschool level and beyond.
