Today we took the test over the 10 Core Democratic Values we spent immersed in last week. The test date was on the board all week, there was information in the blog, and I think I sent home an e-mail,too.
Test results covered the range from +0 to +10. I told the kids they had to have an 80% (B-) to pass because there were only 10 questions on the test. There was also a word bank, so all the information was at their fingertips.
Tomorrow, those who did not receive an 80% or higher will be getting a worksheet that will need to be completed as a "ticket" to re-take the test. I know re-taking a test is not an exciting activity, but it must be done. The grade I record at the end of the re-test cycle will be the highest grade your child receives; grades will not be averaged, and if, by some cruel twist of fate, a lower score is earned, the higher score will be the final grade.
The marking period ends next Monday, so it is imperative that the re-testing be completed by Friday, February 28.
Thanks,
Cathy
