Today was a day of life lessons. One of the important ones was the skill of test writing and focus during instructions. Another lesson was self-regulation, being in charge of yourself, your behaviour, and your learning. Who controls you?
Science: The science tests were returned today. There were numerous long faces when students saw their results. We discussed how important it is to have their eyes on their science test when the teacher is going over the test paper. Reading headings is also necessary if you are looking to be successful. Students have the opportunity to rewrite on Wednesday during class.
Math: Grade 7 students completed their tests today. Some will arrive home with review and study guides, as well as test papers. All grade 6 students will arrive home with tests and study guides. Rewrites can happen next week, but students need to let me know when that will be. New unit begins Monday.
I will be out of the building during the school day on Monday, but I will be available at SMS after 3:00 PM.
Have a great weekend everyone.
