Sept 21-24: IOWA Testing and Review

This week, 8th graders are completing their IOWA testing during their core classes. They are tested on Reading, Language, Math, Social Studies, and Science. These tests will be split over 2 days, Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday students will be going through a special schedule for "Collection Day" for Student-Led Conferences.

When we aren't doing the IOWA testing, we will be reviewing for the physical and chemical properties and changes quiz for rise and stretch. Students should study pg10 in their notebook especially and should be able to distinguish between properties and changes, and between physical and chemical reactions. The quiz will be held on Thursday.

Thank you for being patient with us while we do the state testing - I know it's not particularly fun for the students (and not really for me either).
