Daily Agenda: October 7-11, 2024
Upcoming Assessments: SUM Quiz 4 Integer Operations: All Operations (Wed. 10/16)
Greetings! I have to dash off to an appointment, so this will be the fastest update you've gotten thus far. We continued working with integer operations this week, but started with a review on Monday rather than getting straight into the quiz. I believe the format of our review really helped the vast majority of the kids as we also reviewed test taking strategies as well as the content. We've discussed these things in the past, but I've found they really don't know these strategies and they've been incorrectly applying things they heard about in elementary school but hadn't seen modeled before. Many of you will find they most students got their highest quiz score yet when we took the quiz on Tuesday. The rest of the week was spent working on multiplication and division of integers and we'll be having a similar review next Tuesday before the quiz on Wednesday.
There's definitely more I'd like to share, but I have to jet. Before closing, I do want to remind folks of a piece of information that went out in the school's weekly emails this past Sunday. The county has finished onboarding students into the Stride Tutoring site and students can now sign up for free virtual tutoring based on their own schedules. More information can be found here. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
