Happy Mother's Day Weekend!
Science - Mrs. Sexton
We will go over our study guide on Monday, and take the final Heredity Test on Wednesday. Students have a Kahoot game in their Google Classroom to use to help them prepare for this test. They will take their Study Island Post Test on Thursday. Students may redo any Study Island lessons to help prepare for this test. If your child has received an NM for any of their Study Island lessons or if there are any lessons they have not done. This work must be done before Thursday in order to take the test. The program will not allow students to do the test if they have incomplete work. Any student not eligible to take the test on Thursday due to incomplete work will lose 10 points per day until they are able to take the test. This has been explained in class (on Friday, May 10th).
