Writing SOL

Our fifth grade WRITING SOL dates have been selected.  The Monkeys will take the Writing SOL in two parts.

Friday, March 21 at 9:30 will be the multiple choice section.
Monday, March 24 at 9:30 will be the written prompt section.

Everyone has been working so hard to prepare.  Our PLANNING PILLARS are top notch and will help the fifth graders as they prepare for the written prompt portion.

Here are some at home resources to help as you prepare.
