After the EOC

 We took our EOC exam today and I am glad it is over!!

I have a feeling many students are used to elementary school and think the year is over already.
This is the only reason my grades on Focus can be so low. I think many of the students went on Spring Break and didn't return. : )
Maybe, I am assigning too little homework and they aren't used to it!

1. Please check Focus and have your student make up any missing work. I have been asking for makeup work since 4/18 when testing began. I know many of the students had time in the Study/Quiet  time for 8th grade testing.

We will continue with Rome and after testing.
Here is the next group of work and test:
5/11-5/12-50/49 questions and Valley Charts are due. EOC testing
5/13-16- Review Chapter 8 Rome p 228-247
5/17-18- Test Chapter 8 Rome
5/19-20- Review Chapter 9 p 252-276
5/23-24- Test Chapter 9 Rome,
5/25-26- Start Meso America Chapter 12

Fourth nine weeks and EOC

 Hello again!
The year is speeding by fast! It has been wonderful to teach your children this year! I think I will miss watching them grow into 8th graders.

 This nine weeks so far has been very simple for work. The students had an open book test on Chapter 8 and 9. I am very happy with lots of the scores. However, I am still missing a few tests.
 Please check the grade portal for missing test grades.

We have been working on Rome this nine weeks. I will post all of the assignments for Rome.
The students have been given extra time to turn in missing work. They have had the last two weeks to catch up on any missing work. They have also had a print out of their grades to check for missing work. The work has been posted in three different places in the room to help them catch up.

The EOC for World History will be 11-12 May. The students have been given a 50 question review sheet for all of the standards, we have done this year. They have had three weeks to work on this Study Guide.
 The students have also been given a Chart of the different River Valleys to help them also. It is due 9-10 May.
