Testing...

...has begun again! We will be doing the writing test in the middle school this week. It is a benchmark time for 7th graders and a work sample opportunity for 6th and 8th. Hopefully, through their language arts classes and advising they will be done on Friday.

Grades will be handed out at the end of the day today, and in the mail. Please see me with any questions or concerns. I will be lining up Q3 and Q4 assessment to the Framework and their formal ILPs for the next two reports. More on that soon.

Tonight is a Meet the Teachers event at 6:00 p.m.
The board meets tomorrow night.
Look for news soon about rescheduling my advising class potluck - realistically right after Spring Break is most likely.
I am formulating a NEEDS list that would help upstairs. I will post it on the blog, through email, and at the front desk (supplies, tasks, repairs, field trips, etc.)

DUE THIS WEEK:
Drama: lines memorized on Wednesday, 2/21
World Music: topic selected, rough draft begun, lecture on India continued on Wed. 2/21
D.A.D.A.: rough drafts need to be in class on Wednesday 2/21
Songwriting: first performance(s) on Thursday 2/22 and Tuesday 2/27
Literature: Testing all week
Writing: Testing all week
Advising: ILP conferences and autobiography cover pages done by Thursday 2/22

Hope you had a pleasant three-day weekend!
Thanks,
Kirk
