Test Wednesday, December 18! Study! Study!

Greetings!

The natives are restless, but there is work to be done this week.  We will be taking the test on Chapter 3, The World's People, on Wednesday, December 18.  We corrected the last two pages of review work today, and tomorrow we will go over the pre-test the kids took in November.

I did have one girl ask me last Friday to tell her how to study.  I pondered her request all weekend; it was a great question.  I explained to the kids that reading, and re-reading, the chapter would be a great way to study, and all I heard was a loud, collective groan!  I also explained that ALL the work we have been doing is building toward the test, and I mentioned that those who had missing assignments were really putting themselves in danger of not being able to pass the test.

I also made a quiz on Quizlet.  Several kids in each class indicated that they have used Quizlet, so they have a passing familiarity with the web site.  I have added a link that will get you close to our quiz.  I told the kids that using Quizlet is the perfect combination of studying and technology!!

After you click on this link, look for the quiz made by me - MrsCWood.  There is a small picture of me, too, so hopefully the quiz will be easy to find.  There are several ways to use quizlet, so please encourage your child to take the quiz more than once.

Thanks,
Cathy
