    We will take a mad minute test weekly, usually on Tuesdays.  They will begin with 3 minutes and will decrease each week by 10 seconds. This is a G1 weekly grade. 

    Students are given time during the week to complete IReady lessons/assignments. They are given grades based on completing the amount of time and lessons They are required to have 45 minutes per week with 2 lessons passed. 

    Signed papers will be sent home every Tuesday to be signed and need to be sent back on Wednesday.
