Memory and a Map Test
The Office told us this morning that Progress Reports should be sent out on Tuesday August 24 instead of this Friday. I will update the calendar to show the change. Tuesday is also a Early Dismissal day so the kids will be leaving at 1:00.
Today in Language Arts we had our first Vocabulary Test Review and used our Memory Cards and a little friendly (well it was friendly most of the time:-) competition. Some of the kids are extremely competitive and many had studied in an effort to win the competition. In my homeroom Addison Westbrook had the highest score with ten matches, followed by Megan Wiggins with seven and Jeanine Edwards and Daniel Rose tied with six each. Jessica Price and Jason Seeley led Ms. Cox’s homeroom with eight matches each closely followed by Jeff Carmel with seven matches. These students are exempted from our Test on Monday. Samantha Tew redesigned the children’s game “Go Fish” as another review game we can use as a fun study tool later in the year. I appreciate her ingenuity and enthusiasm. Through her efforts, our classroom is made better.
In Social Studies we really showed off our knowledge of directions, longitude and latitude and how to use a reference atlas with a test on Africa. The kids seemed real comfortable with the material and I heard a lot of excited comments as they turned them in. Look for the scores on the Progress Report Tuesday.
Tomorrow for our Team Time we are having Game Day. The kids can bring in board games and card games that they enjoy. Ms. Cox and I both believe in the Middle School concept that students need to learn how to work and play together and these kids have worked so hard and have earned a reward.
