Also, please continue to help students master language arts; grade necessary standards, we use a variety of frames.  These frames allow students to formulate and hold academic discussions about the texts we read in class, and connections to their daily lives.  Students can use these questions/ response frames when doing homework ( Science Fair Projects), talking about different topics around the dinner table, out with friends, etc.
