I was out of school today.  The substitute provided students with review from Chapter 7 in preparation for the Final Exam which will be given the week of June 13.

4th hour:  The substitute gave a positive report noting that the students were quiet, respectful, and worked productively on the assignment.

5th hour:  This was the only period that had any negative comments from the substitute:  “The students were very talkative.  Some of them did not do their work.”

This assignment will be checked by me on Tuesday.
