Hello Parents,
As you know, we are into our second and final week of NECAPs. Homework is very light this week. In class we are preparing for our first test of quarter 1 which is on Native Americans (Chap. 2, sections 1 and 2). In preparation, I am having students put together a study packet. This is all the work we have covered in class over the past few weeks. It totals 6 pages (worksheets and notes). This is work that all students should have completed by now (check PowerSchool if you want to check if your son/daughter completed the work). They will use the study packet in a review game on Thursday (it is their ticket to playing the game). Students should also be reviewing this study packet each night (I suggest 15 minutes per night). You could help by quizzing them with questions.
A quick note about PowerSchool............If you see any letter grades (ie. A, B, C, D, F), please disregard these as we are not using this type of grade. PowerSchool is averaging some of the numbers (such as with the Milton History project grades) which then assigns a letter grade. This can be misleading. Please refer to my earlier post for project grades where I explain what a 1, 2, 3, 4 mean as a grade. Thank you.
Have a great week.
Mr. Burton
