The Final Week
Sophie's Survey: Please help Sophie with her research
There are many assessments next week. You have just 4 more days of academic classes. EXPECT to work HARD in all of those 4 days. Friday will be more relaxing.
Mon: End of Class - Research Essay + Genius Hour Projects Reflection
Tues: Sharing of Genius Hour Projects and Research Essays (I will begin grading this work then)
Wed: Last Membean Test
Thur: Superlatives and Comparatives Test (Look at last week's blog for practice)
Tips:
Make sure your Reading Book chart in up to date on my classroom wall on Monday. I will begin looking at total # of books read for the semester then
You will also be receiving an assessment grade on 'minutes of Membean practiced -v- the class average' e.g. In one class, the least minutes practiced was a student with 259mins -v- the most a student with 543mins for the semester. If you think your minutes practised - v - the class average is low - what can you do about this before next FRIDAY?
