The students will be taking a Middle of the Year (MOY) Assessment for Math on Monday. This assessment is given to us and required by HISD. The data from this assessment will help us guide instruction for the next few months leading up to TAKS in April by showing us how well the students are retaining past objectives. The test will cover all objectives covered from August until December.
Today, each student was given a Review Pack. Completion of this pack is not mandatory, but suggested. If the student completes the packet over the next four days, I will give him/her 40 extra credit points. In class, I stressed the importance of "Practice Makes Perfect" and by giving them this review, I am allowing them to be responsible for their own success on the test. In the packet, each section begins with a "reminder" page. This should be helpful.
I hope everyone has an enjoyable and exciting break! I am traveling to Missouri (where is snows!) to spend time with my family and then I am spending New Year's in Chicago!
Happy Holidays!
