VOCABULARY: REVIEW ALL WEEK FOR FRIDAY TEST

posted Sep 25, 2011 3:47 PM by kk eberhard

TWENTY vocabulary words are posted each Monday. FIVE words are reviewed each day Monday through Thursday in class. Students should be studying on their own, as much as necessary for each individual, to secure a 100% on Friday's test.  

I have suggested creating flashcards from notecards (available in my classroom) and also going to quizlet.com which offers lots of fun online studying.

Prepare yourself and get the A.

IMPROVE ACT SCORES...

posted Sep 17, 2011 2:07 PM by kk eberhard

By increasing scores, students increase the likelihood of receiving scholarships and opening doors during the college admission process. In some instances, two points on the composite score mean thousands of dollars in scholarship money. Two points can also mean acceptance to a “dream” school. Participating in additional ACT preparation will help students increase their scores.

Attached is an ACT test prep series sponsored by the St. Clair County KnowHow2GO initiative. One of the main goals of KnowHow2GO is to increase the number of students in St. Clair County who continue their education beyond high school. Addressing this goal, St. Clair County RESA will provide a comprehensive ACT prep four-week series taught by motivated, hands-on instructors using online course and print content in mathematics, English, science and reading.

These are economically priced workshops at just $25 each. Students may register for one subject per day. 24 hour notice of cancellation is required. All sessions are held at the M-TEC building on the SC4 campus, 323 Erie Street, Port Huron.
