Even thought it officially turned fall last week, today is the first day of cooler weather. Finally, when the kids came in from P.E., they were not sweating or with red faces! We've still got a few weeks before it really starts to stay cool, but I'll take it for today.
The math tests were a little easier today. A lot of it was material that we tested on last week and had extra time to review. Hopefully, the grades improved. Both grades were given a packet of worksheets. This packet will all together count for up to 10 extra points in math class. 5th grade had a while to work on it in class after the test. It is not due until next Wednesday.
We finished the science study guides for the quiz Thursday. Neither grade has much information to learn and we have spent two class periods going over it already, and will go over it again tomorrow.
Both grades received the heritage studies study guide today. A lot of 6th graders finished it in class. We will learn the last few pages of our lesson and finish the answers together tomorrow. There are 18 separate items on the study guide for 6th grade, but 20 questions. 5th grade has only 10 items on the study guide, but one of them is to label 10 countries on the world map. They have a copy of the map and the 10 countries they will need to know.
The bonus point assignments will be given out by Thursday for the other two subjects.
There are still some students that have not brought back their test folders from a few weeks ago. If the folders are not brought back this week, the students will be written up. They have already lost several points from their homework grade in each subject for not having brought back the folders.
