Fun and exciting ways to review are vital to student learning. I remember the days of simply reading over study guides and immediately forgetting what I read. Today we played an interactive review game.
I broke the class up into 5 groups. Each group had a quizzer, a person intended to ask questions and keep score. After twenty minutes of the quizzer quizzing their groups, a winner from each groups was decided. The five winners then competed for the number one spot.
Congrats to the class champions!
1st hour: Mohammed S.
3rd hour: Emmerson and Courtney W.
4th hour: Samer D.
6th hour: Kelsey M.
Study hard. Tomorrow you play JEOPARDY!

FINALLY! After 3 whole days at Salina Technology Camp, I’ve returned just in time to announce the chapter 27 & 28 test on Friday, May 2nd. This will be the final grade of the marking period.
Today all classes received the chapter 27 & 28 study guide. They worked in groups in order to find the answers to the question. Anything not done in class is to be done over the weekend and checked-in on Monday, April 28th.
HAVE A SAFE AND WONDERFUL WEEKEND!
Today we had shortened classes due to afternoon DRA testing. During class the student got back their scrapbook projects. Because it was student teacher, Mr. B’s last day, each student wrote him a paragraph about what they like in a teach. I think their advice was wonderful!
No homework this weekend! Enjoy.
We’ll miss you Mr. B. Thanks for everything!
Have a great weekend. See you on Monday!
Today we studied Vietnam, and the students were presented with power point slides that taught and demonstrated Ch. 27 Section 4.
They then were put into groups to work together on questions based on the slides and on the section. After They were then supposed to finish the Koreas and Vietnam handout for homework. This will be checked in tomorrow.
We read and discussed sections 27-3 and 27-4 and then worked on guided reading activity worksheets that are checked in for a score. It seems like the students enjoy this region of the world! We’ll be wrapping Asia up very soon…then off the the Pacific Realm.
Today as a whole group we read and discussed Section 27-1 about China’s Political and Economic changes over the last 50 years. We Talked of Mao Zedong and his communist policies as well as the changes that have occurred. HOMEWORK: Complete the China section of the worksheet that I gave you. It’s due tomorrow. GO WINGS!! GOOD LUCK TIGERS!!! GO PISTONS!!!
I’ll have your quizzes graded as soon as possible. Hopefully by Monday. I’m excited to see the GREAT GRADES!
Don’t forget, if you haven’t turned it in already, your LAW DAY ESSAY is due tomorrow!
Today our entire team held shortened classes; 25 minutes to be exact. We made this change because we had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to here the live testimony of an actual Holocaust survivor. She spoke with the team for about an hour about the trial and tribulations of being a Jew during Hitler’s occupation of European countries. It was truly amazing hearing her speak. The pain of family members dying, the elation of liberation, all emotions came through during her speech. Ask your children about it. They were all very respectful. I have never been more proud of them. A special thank you goes out to Leah W., who made this special assembly possible. Thanks Leah.
During our shortened Social Studies period we got our the white boards and dry erase markers and I asked them questions from their upcoming quiz tomorrow. They answered on the boards. This acted as a fun review session for them. Don’t forget to study AND if you didn’t already, turn in your LAW DAY ESSAY Thursday (with PARENT SIGNED PERMISSION SLIP)!
LAW DAY ESSAY due Thursday, April 10 (TOMORROW FOR EXTRA CREDIT).
Today in class we used our time to “peer edit” our essays. Each person had 3 people read their essay and give advice on how to improve it. Students will now use these suggestions to create their final copy. Final copies should be typed if at all possible!
WORLD RELIGIONS QUIZ on Wednesday, April 9!
