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?
