Today we handed back the tests. The students all have the opportunity to take the test home and fix it. They must do it on a separate sheet of paper. They can't write 1. True. They must write a complete sentence. The purpose of this redo is not solely to help their grade. It is so they can re-learn the information they didn't remember the first time. They will only get half of the points, but the main purpose is to learn what they should have learned at the first. It is due the beginning of class on Tuesday. Late test make-ups will not be accepted unless the student is absent, then it is due the first day back.
We also had a quiz today on last night's reading assignment. As we do this more than half the time, no one should have been surprised. Then the class watched a power point presentation on Mountains and soil. We saw fold mountains, fault-block mountains and plateaus. We talked about weathering and erosion, and about the different types of soil. We will review that ppp on Wednesday
Monday is a holiday. Tuesday Soil and water people come in to present a lesson. Wednesday we will review the new information and Thursday is the 6th grade field trip. More on that later.
