Wednesday January 18, 2012

Yesterday our schedule was slightly different due to language arts testing all afternoon. My core 1 and core 2 classes used the class period to review for the test tomorrow, while core 3 and 4 completed their language arts tests.

Today, all 4 classes will be playing a review "Jeopardy" game. Catagories for todays questions include vocabulary, LCM/ GCF, old stuff (there will be a couple of questions on the test from previous units), prime factorization, and divisibility rules.

The top 3 teams will earn cat cash for their efforts. I will be posting sample test questions later today for students to study this evening.

The test tomorrow will be the last grade of the 2nd nine weeks, and a good test score has the potential to raise a quarter grade as much as 4 percentage points, so some students will really benefit by putting in some study time.
