Spring break is only two weeks away! It is amazing how fast 2nd semester goes. We will be taking a unit test the day before spring break and I would like it if anyone who is going to be leaving early for spring break to take the test early. I will be staying late on Wednesday April 1st for students to take the test. If your student is leaving before that have them meet with me and we will set up a time for them to take the test before they go. Thank you so much!
The students will be writing a children's book for the next week. We will be working on unit 3 materials too, but each day they will have a little time to work on the book. It is due Wednesday 3/18. They will be presenting it in class. Last semester I had the top scoring books go down to the 4th grade and read them to the students. It was a lot of fun and I am hoping to do it again. Both the high school students and the 4th grade students took something away from the day too. The students have to include 10 economic terms that we learned in the first two units. They are the big idea terms that I would like them to remember past my class and I feel this will help them do that.
Conferences are on Tuesday and Thursday next week (3/10/15 and 3/12/15) from 5:50 to 8:30 pm each day.
The students will be having their unit 2 test on Tuesday March 10th. They have had their review sheets since Monday also, yesterday and today, they worked on a practice test to help them get an idea of how well they know the material. We went over it today in class and they got to keep it, so they should be able to use it to study with. Most of the students did well. The review sheet and rough draft will be due on the day of the test 3/10/15. |
