2. Tomorrow is Neon Day - prizes at noon.
3. Also, remember that tomorrow is the Appreciation Tea at 3:00 - we hope to see you there.
We began the day with the DART reading assessment. The students read a passage and answered questions and then did an oral reading monitored by a teacher. This assessment is just a snapshot of the students' reading on one day, but it is a piece that will help identifying how to best serve each student next year. Once students finished their assessments, theyused any extra time to work on their passion inquiries.
After recess we read for ten minutes and then started math. In Math 7 I returned the unit tests and then reviewed the one area where many students had difficulty: showing the "check" after solving their equations. Study packages will not be required to rewrite this test. There is no homework.
After lunch we listened to three student inquiry presentations on ancient civilizations, worked on our passion projects for 20 minutes and then had a game of Person Hunt in the forest. I spite of the upset to the morning routine, it was a great day today. Thanks for all of your cooperation and effort.
