MATH: Students took Session II of the CRT. No math homework today.

LANGUAGE ARTS: Students are reviewing for CRT tests using UCUTIPS tests during class. They may work with partners to get the highest scores, and I've offered a Homework Pass to each partnership that achieves the highest score for each test. They're really working hard!

MUSIC: Students started this new specialty class today. From what they tell me they will be having a talent show sometime before school ends. Ask your student for details.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students were broken into groups of three (with a few preferring to work alone) to work on end-of-year presentations from WWI to present. They are researching out of our textbook and coming up with a creative and fun way to present the most important information they have learned. Some are doing PowerPoints. Some are doing Reporter on the Scene for their time frame. Some are creating a video re-enactment of parts of their time frame. These will be presented starting on May 23rd.

I think 99% of everyone is done with their posters. We're still working on timelines to attach to the bottom of their posters. They're VERY busy and have no time to goof off. Remember to be looking for costumes for May 20th's Great American Wax Museum.
