The last leg of the TAKS race begins in 12 days with Science first, then my favourite, SOCIAL STUDIES!! What have we been doing to help students cross the finish line? Ms. Perky and I have been tutoring students before and after school 3x a week. Students know that I will stay anytime they need me ~ all they need to do is ask.
Today, (Saturday), we held a Super Science & Social Studies Saturday School to give students one last opportunity to review. We set up stations in the cafeteria such as ‘Knowledge Retrieval’ (using the C.O.W.), Geography Country, Objective 5-Boot Camp, and Relay Race. Invitations were issued to about 60 students and half showed up which is par for the course. The weather was not conducive to getting out of bed to teach or to learn and I am grateful to those who made the effort to be there. Hopefully those individuals learned a strategy that will help them cross the finish line without limping.
Race day is May 1st and I plan on racing to a local oasis for adult refreshments that afternoon!
ttfn,
