Holiday Excitement!

Holiday excitement has started to seep into LMS!

Please be sure to check Infinite Campus for your child's grades.  I posted the Chapter 3 test grades yesterday, so please take a minute to see your child's progress.  I have had a couple of kids come to me and tell me that the grade in Infinite Campus is wrong; I put in a +25 grade when it was really supposed to be a +35 grade!!  I told the kids to check from time to time and make sure I'm posting  the right numbers for the assignments; speed and accuracy are not always compatible.

I also told the kids that the test grade was out of a total of 34, not 35, because many kids missed the same question.  This tells me we either didn't spend enough time on the concept, or the question was not well written.  Either way, I tossed one question.  So.....if your child had +35 on the test, their score is now 102.94%.

When we return from winter break, we will be starting a unit on economics.  It sounds boring, but it is actually rather interesting and offers opportunities for hands-on activities.

I predict that tomorrow will be a crazy day, so let me take this opportunity to wish you a safe and happy Holiday.  Drive carefully.
