We have a full week of events ahead! Check out the list below. In social studies, we will continue our discussion on the Trail of Tears, encounters with Native Americans, and the Mexican-American War.
In science, we will review “most missed” questions on the Body Systems LOT to ensure student understanding. We will also discuss strategies to help students make sure their scores on the computer-based tests are as high as their scores on their paper/pencil tests. The tests will be returned to students today. If your child’s score was low, please discuss with him/her how they are studying for the tests. I will be touching base with the students in class as well. I am happy to share study strategies to ensure future success. Overall, most of our scores improved from the last series of testing. I can tell students have made changes in their study habits and appreciate your support at home!
