Math 7

1. Students had bus evacuation today during class.

2. We did a formative test today.  Formative test are treated like a test and are marked.  They do not count on the report card.  Formative tests help the teacher to know what needs to be re-taught before the summative test.  It also helps students to realize what type of questions they need to review more of before the test.  Formative test will be passed back tomorrow.  Test will be Wednesday.

Science 6

1. We reviewed for the test that will be on our next class Wednesday.

2. Homework was checked today.   If it was not completed a stamp was placed in the agenda.  In grades 6, 7 and 8 students need to make good use of their agenda’s to plan when homework is due.  Classes like science are not every day (3 times a week) and students must keep track of when assignments and questions are due.  This will be an important skill as they progress in their educational path.
