You must complete the lessons indicated for any SPI that you missed on the SPI Tracker #2 test.

Place a check mark by all SPIs that you missed, so that you will know what review material to complete.

Place an X on the SPIs that you got correct. You do not have to complete the review material on these. Students who receive enrichment assignments, must staple them to the back of this packet.

Your answer sheet to the SPI Tracker Test #2 must be stapled to the front of this packet. (Remember…all of the information is in Quiz Star too, so I already have it…)

We will focus on certain categories on certain days. After you fully complete a category, you must raise your hand and show it to Mrs. Watkins to check it off. I will give you the answer key to check your answers. You are responsible for correcting them. I will spot check answers as you turn them in make sure you are trying your best.

Tutoring will be offered every Tuesday & Thursday until 2:45. The focus during tutoring will be on the SPI packet. I can help you with anything that you do not understand.

Your completed packet is worth a PROJECT grade (50%). Remember, just because you complete it, doesn’t mean you will receive a 100… I will circulate from group to group to help with the lessons you need assistance with. ASK for clarification on difficult topics. Attend tutoring for extra help.

You will be given the following quizzes (40%).

Quiz 1: Language, Vocabulary, Logic & Communication SPIsQuiz 2: Writing & Research, Literature and Informational Text SPIs
