During February we will be perfecting our writing skills. The state writing test will be Tuesday, March 1st.
Please remember that we will have a parent meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 1st. White Oak will be presenting information concerning cyber bullying and the writing TAKS test.

Week of January 10-14, 2011

Dear Parents and Students,
Happy New Year!! I hope your Christmas holiday was wonderful, and your New Year so far has been great. I was ready to return to school and a schedule.

Students will be taking their semester exams this week. Those exams are a reading benchmark, a writing composition, and an editing and revising benchmark. It should take us all week to complete these benchmarks.

The first part of students' January book projects are due on Wednesday, January 19th (this is a date change that I will announce on Monday). If your student is working in a group, their assignment is their script. If your student is working alone, their assignment is the first assginment on the Cafe ELA sheet. The final projects will be due on February 1, 2011.
Thanks for your continued support.
Have a blessed week,
Tamara Williams
