EOG Review

It is that time of year again, EOG review. I am asking students to give me 15 minutes of quality studying at home each night. If students spend at least 15 minutes each night looking over their notes, sample EOG questions, PowerPoints and other information I give them, I almost promise they will pass the EOG.

Please expect a homework sheet on Wednesday night for a grade.

There will be a EOG weather test Friday only on weather information.

Heredity tests have been graded and sent to students via email.

Practice EOGs have been graded and sent to students via email. A green slip will go home Friday with students scores and areas of weakness. Parents, please sign and return the slips to school on Monday.

Projects are due Friday and I excited to see what cool projects students have made!

Welcome Back!

This week:

Tuesday- Review for Heredity Test
Wednesday- Heredity Test
Thursday- Practice EOG
Friday- Projects Due

I am planning to score the practice EOG's but the scores will NOT go in the grade book. This is the only practice test that I will do this for, everything else will be graded. Parents, please look for a note home with students' scores and topics to work on. It may take several days for us to present projects, please be patient as our main focus will be EOG review from now until the end of May.

Parents, 

We have just one more school day until our field trip!  I plan on going over some reminders with the students tomorrow in class, but I also wanted to send out a reminder to all parents about some things to remember for Friday.  

  • Arrive at school between 6:30 and 6:45AM (We are leaving at 7AMPlease don't be late!)
  • Meet in the parking lot of the school by the playground. 
  • Bring a bag lunch - Please label with your child's name
  • Bring a change of clothes (shirt, pants, underwear, socks, etc.)
  • Bring two pairs of shoes (one pair that you won't mind getting wet)
  • Bring a towel
  • Bring a bag to hold all personal items
  • Bring a bag to hold wet clothes in if needed
  • Optional: sunscreen, insect repellent, money for souvenirs
When we are on the way back from the field trip, students whose parents are not chaperoning will be able to call their parents and let them know what time we will be arriving back at NCS.  Students must be signed out by their parents before leaving school to go home.  

The kids are very excited about the trip, and the weather is looking like it should be great.  

Please let me know if you have any questions.  

Thank you, 

Here is a video to review the Nervous system.

Test Thursday on ALL systems of the body.

Report Cards will go home MONDAY due to the field trip on Friday.
