Its the last week of school before Christmas break. Yeah!
The re-takes for the Geography Test are this Tuesday before or after school.
We are working on a Natural Disaster Poster Project starting Monday, this will be due Thursday where student will present to the entire class. Students will be given time in class, but not the entire block; time needs to be used wisely.
We have had some issues as of late with students being destructive and not respecting the art supplies that I have, therefore as of last week, my art box as been put away and will not be taken out until further notice. Therefore, students need to bring their own art supplies this week so they can successfully do the Natural Disaster Poster Project. They will not be allowed to use mine.
Friday is PBIS Movie Day.
If you received a Progress Report (C- or lower) for either Science and/or Geography I need those returned and signed by a parent by no later than Wednesday or there will be consequence.
The retakes for the Science Test we took Thursday (both parts iLearn & written portion) are Tuesday before (7:20 AM) and after school (3:05 PM).
There is a Geography Test on Chapter 2 this Friday. Here is the Study Guide (with answers) that was assigned on Monday. Students had class time to do it when they were done with their group posters.
Here is the Kahoot! link for this weeks Geography Test…
