Good morning! I hope you are all enjoying your extended snow-cation and staying safe and warm. As you know, we have now missed 2 more days of school and we are quickly approaching test day. The district will likely give us an additional day back before testing, but that still leaves us behind schedule! When we return, we will have to triple our EOC review warmups for a couple of days to get caught back up and will also be cutting some cool activities I had planned :(
I ask that you all be patient and buckle down as we approach the test. We will still have review days and games built into our lessons, but be aware that there will be quite a bit of independent review activities. EOC test prep tutoring is offered every Monday-Thursday from 4-5 with Mrs. Ruby and Wednesday's with Mrs. Tweitmeyer in room 225. All attendees will receive extra credit.
