Congratulations to our 9th Graders for their achievement
Ms. Pechersky’s 9th grade ELA students participated in the Spring Reading Contest organized by Achieve 3000, an individualized online program that they have been using this year. This program prepares them for college by building students’ non-fictional text comprehension skills. Each team member had to read a large number of articles during several months and answer questions about the texts. They received points for getting 75 or more percent of the questions right. They received additional points for higher accuracy of their answers. The points were then added up and averaged for each team. Our team’s final average qualified them to be among the winners! The students worked very hard both at school and at home, encouraged each other, and showed great teamwork and motivation. They celebrated their victory by being honored in Muster and having a pizza party.
