Weekend Challenge

Every Friday, in my room, I will post-- on a designated bulletin board a “Weekend Challenge” activity.  This is a bonus activity.  All students may take on this challenge!   It must be turned in on the following Monday (Tuesday if Monday is a holiday)-No exceptions! 

You will have the opportunity to make 15 bonus points per week.  This is a great way to pump up that grade to the next level!

Note:  Copies of the challenge will be available in the classroom and when feasible, a copy will be posted.

posted Apr 7, 2010 5:52 AM by Brenna Magallanes

See attachment from Objective 1
Copies of multiple choice questions will be in the classroom but the study packet (section) is too large to run off in multiple copies so students will need to use the attachment from objective 1 (objective 5 is included)
 
Again...only the multiple choice questions and answers need to be turned in for the bonus points!
