Happy Holidays! If you've ever worked or even visited a school the week before winter break, I'm sure you'll understand how eager I am to head out and start my own break, so I'll keep this update brief (seriously, this won't turn into a dissertation!). We've wrapped up most of our work for ratios and proportions this week, though we still have to do a little work on proportions (SOL 6.PFA.2) after the break. That part isn't on the quiz though, so we carried on with that as planned. Even though we got through everything on the quiz prior to today, because of the general buzz in the air that permeates the whole week before break, we didn't get as in depth as I'd like and we didn't get as much practice as I would normally like to do. For this reason, I allowed the kids to use the quiz review while taking their quiz today along with a completed copy of the multiplication chart rather than having them create their own prior to testing. Between this, the break, and the many absences, I plan to go over the final take with the kids the day we return. For this reason, it is important that the kids finish their first attempt (the Mastery Connect copy) prior to returning from the break. I've posted grades for all those who have submitted, but you won't see the "Missing" note at this point as it isn't counted as missing/late until tonight and I won't update grades again until we return from break.
That should cover all the major highlights, so I'll close this out here. I fully plan to enjoy every minute of my break with my family, so I will not be connected to my school accounts over that time, but you can still feel free to email if you have any questions and I'll get back to you after the break. I hope everyone has an amazing break and enjoys the holidays!
