  • I have marked all the quizzes to date.  I am still waiting for a couple to be finished by absent students.  I will send home a bundle as a test pack for you to review and sign at the top.  Please have your child complete corrections and then bring the whole bundle back so I can verify that you've seen it.

4.  Journal:  "How does your puzzle show a growth mindset?"  Minimum one page, double spaced.  Be sure to consult the editing support I have already given you when composing this journal.

Monday HW

5.  Social Studies Inquiry research projects were handed in today.  We reviewed how to make questions with slideshow prompts on three separate occasions in the last 10 days.  Some students, through a combination of absences or appointments may still be unclear on how to form a personal question.  There is good news:  if those students needing extra support can come to Homework Club on Tuesday (tomorrow) after school, I can go through the process with them once again.  I am reviewing the questions in advance of one to one conferences to ensure the questions are feasible , achievable and contain enough depth to merit extended inquiry.
