This is the time of year when we get busy and there are many distractions. I would like to map out the road to the "Exam". The very first thing you need to know is that this semester the sixth-graders do not really take an exam. They will take tests during exam week, but these are normal Chapter tests. That should answer the first concern about exam week--for my class they should just study like they would for a chapter test. If you follow what has been working for you up until now, that should be sufficient.

It is very important that they study every night. As always, it is not necessary right now to spend a long time each night, but they should be going over the material we have covered in Chapter D3.  We have covered the first three lessons so far. Tomorrow we will begin working on the last lesson on the moon. For this lesson, I will be covering the material in the book, but will also add material that they will need to know. I am encouraging them to be very attentive in class.

Next Tuesday,  December 7th there will be a Chapter Vocabulary QUIZ.

Other than that quiz, we will be working on getting through the material that we need for the test and then reviewing.  The Science Test will be on  Friday, December 17th.
