We are looking forward to seeing you all at Conferences!
Just a reminder of our Medicis Test next Thurs. Dec. 13th. Today students are bringing home a list of questions to study that the test will be pulled from. We discussed a variety of study strategies such as making a Q and A sheet of notes, creating a chart, reading questions and answers out loud, making matching games, and getting quizzed by a parent or friend.
I have also asked students to think about a topic for their Renaissance essay, which we are beginning on Monday. If you want to discuss at home this weekend that would be awesome! Thanks again for your ongoing support!
