Tuesday - test tomorrow

It was picture day today and we were just fortunate, with all the snow, that the photographers arrived. And even better, we were done with first hour test prep before they called the 6th grade. We did review for the test today. Students were given every test questions, in their teams, they had to decide on the answer, write it down, and get it into the bucket before time ran our. Then I read the correct answers and the teams received points.

The purpose of a test is to determine if a student learned all that is required. Knowing this information is much more important than the grade. The grade just shows if they learned the information completely enough. This information will help them as they progress to the different years of science. The more they learn now, the easier life will be in their future science classes. It just takes time and effort, as do all worthwhile things.
