What We Did Today

Students got back their quiz. They were given the class period to work on corrections. If they had prepared and showed their notes, Quizlet, flashcards or practice to me on Thursday or Friday before the test, they are allowed to take it home and finish corrections. Students were also asked to write out a reflection for how they prepared for the quiz. What did  you do to prepare? When did you do it? Did you use notes, worksheets your book, etc? How often did you review the material? Did you work with a partner? What will you do again, what will you change?

Homework

Read the Chapter One Student Reading packet. Highlight the main ideas. If you forgot it at school, you can find under "Science Files". Finish corrections and reflection as well.
