Last week we finished Vocabulary Packet #1 and on Thursday we took a quiz over the words and definitions from that packet. The vocab packet is a work habits grade. Part of the packet is done together as a class, while other sections are assigned for student class work or homework. We grade all sections together as a class and students are allowed to change their answers as we grade. This process helps them learn and recognize these words. Unfortunately, some of the students came to class with their class/homework unfinished. In this instance, they are sent to the hallway to finish their assignments. While in the hallway, they are missing the discussion and grading of the actual assignment.
On Thursday, when tests were taken, there was a definite correlation between test grades and incomplete work. When students come to class unprepared and with unfinished assignments they miss out on very important information. Every two weeks a new Vocabulary Packet will come home to study. Please ask your child about these packets and help them learn these words:)
Also, please ask your child how he/she did on the first test. If they received below a "c" on this quiz they will have the option to retake the quiz on Thursday, the 23rd. We sent home retake papers today and a parent signature will be required for these retakes.
