Tuesday

I just left the computer lab where many  of you were taking your online test. I was a little disappointed to see so many of you wasting your time trying to organize your notes during the test time. (Bad idea when it's a timed test.)

I need to remind you of this:  Mr. Clark has it right! The best way to learn new material is to spend time with that material. He asks for 10 minutes per evening. I'm tagging onto that. YOU SHOULD SPEND A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES DAILY WITH THE VOCABULARY/GREEK & LATIN ROOTS THAT WE ARE LEARNING.

Research tells us that 8th grade students should spend no more than 80 minutes of time on homework. If you divvy up all of your classes and spend at least 10 minutes per evening, imagine the growth and confidence you will build!

Remember, the test closes tomorrow, Wednesday, at 4:15.

Fondly,
Mrs. V~
