Don't Worry...Study!

Today we finished our Airplane Lab...Homework is to work on the study guide.

Parents and Students,
The study guide is designed to ask questions on the content covered by the test. It is a part of the student's work folder, that is turned in after the test. Remember students can use their folders on the test. Usually I send the study guide home, give the students an opportunity to answer the questions to the best of their ability. Then we go over the study guide and discuss the correct answers.

I know that "test" is something that generates a lot of anxiety, nerveousness. Especially the first test of the year, and I understand that it must be frustrating to not have a text book. This is one of two units that does not have a text book, the other being the SOUND unit. Please know, that I would never blindly give out a test until I had completely covered all of the information thoroughly. I want to give the students the opportunity to succeed on their own, before I step in. It's all going to work out!

Note: Tuesday I will be absent, its a scheduled absence for personal reasons. There will be a substitute. Its unusual for me to take a personal day, and I will be checking my email to make sure that I keep myself open to communication.
