Our first week of testing is finished! Thank you for working really hard and being respectful of others while testing was occurring. I love this class! I want to send a shout out to the parents that donated brain-power (snacks) for our first round of testing. THe cuties were a HUGE hit. I hope that we will have more donations each week of our testing.
Research shows that when students have items to snack on during testing times, the person performs better academically because they tend to be more relaxed, they have moments to take breaks from the screen and recharge, even if it's for just a minute. Additionally, they aren't concerned about being hungry during the sometimes long testing periods.
As you may have noticed, homework has been VERY light. I still require the following each week and they are to be completed by Friday. I also have been giving time in class to get this work complete.
