Organizational Activities such as test taking strategies, note taking strategies, study methods, time management. Pre-teaching, re-teaching and CCSS enrichment/extension activities. These activities are directly related to approved CCSS concepts covered in the core classes. Core classes are defined as Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reading. Technology Activities will be incorporated weekly.
