Happy Friday!!! We are beginning to get closer and closer to the big test of the year! How do you feel now that the LEAP test has finally come? Are you nervous, confident, excited etc? What story did you enjoy learning most this year? Do you feel as if we accomplished learning any new skills? Explain

I am feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement now that the LEAP test is approaching. I have been working hard all year to prepare for it, so I am hopeful that I will do well. One of the stories that I enjoyed learning most this year was "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton. It was such a compelling and impactful book that really made me think about important themes like friendship and identity.

I definitely feel like we have accomplished learning new skills this year. We have improved our reading comprehension, critical thinking, and writing skills through analyzing different texts and writing essays. I also feel like I have become a better communicator and collaborator by participating in class discussions and group projects. Overall, I am proud of the progress I have made this year and am looking forward to showcasing my skills on the LEAP test.
