Upcoming Assessments: Coding PBL (Completed by Fri. 6/3)
Greetings folks! With this week primarily focusing on our coding PBL, this week's summary will again be left short and sweet. The honors students wrapped up the last bit of their coding and have the long weekend to finish up the non-coding component (writing up the backstory for their game, having friends and family play their game and gathering their opinions via a GoogleForm survey, and using both to create cover art or promotional posters for the game). The MSM2 students are halfway through all their coding and will finish it up this upcoming week, though we have two days the following week before Chromebooks are collected if more time is needed.
All students have received their SOL scores at this point. Those students who failed and are eligible to retake (370-399) have been given permission letters that need to be returned after being signed by a parent/guardian in order for the kids to be allowed to take the test again. I've also given each of these students additional review materials, noting which SOLs they should each focus while reviewing. I'll be working with them while the other students work on their coding in the days leading up to the retest (June 7-8).
In deference to tomorrow being Memorial Day, I'd like to wrap up this week's summary by thanking all those who have served or are currently serving in our armed forces. Without your service and many sacrifices, the rest of us wouldn't be able to live our lives as we do. Thank you for all you do!
