Friday January 13, 2012

I apologize for falling behind on my blog posts. This week has been busy and I am just now getting a chance to update on what we have been working on in class.

Students will be taking their Unit 5 test next Thursday. The test will cover everything we have worked on over the last 2 weeks. Below is the study guide that I prepared for students. Test questions will be very similar to the questions on the study guide.

Today in class, students will be working on their study guide, as well as answering a few questions to prepare for next week's student lead conferences. Questions will give students an opportunity to reflect on the 2nd 9 weeks and write about what they did well and where they could use improvement. More information on student lead conferences will go home with students soon. I will post information on my blog as well.
