Welcome back!!! Here we go again!!!
While "exam review" actually started on the first day of school, it's now time to kick things into high gear. Every project, conversation, activity, field trip, and sketchbook assignment has been designed to present or review exam content. You will need to demonstrate this knowledge (knowing it, doing it, and writing about it) on the exam. If you have not learned something well enough and still have questions, now is the time to seek answers and to do additional - and very deliberate - practice.
MONDAY: Holiday/New Year's Day
WEDNESDAY:
Warm up: 10 minutes
Class activities:
FRIDAY: Odd day = SNOW DAYS!!!
What we were scheduled to do (below) will be made-up next week... In the meantime, you have homework to do,
Warm up:
Class activities:
HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, preparation, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow (don't procrastinate!), 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Please ask for help/use extended lunch as needed; communicate extension requests 3-days before a deadline.
