EOG Boot Camp
EOG Review - Important! Starts this week!
- On Tuesdays/ Thursdays during the month of May, we will be doing WHOLE SCHOOL Reading and Math Test prep to supplement the instruction already taking place in regular classes. Last year, we referred to these as “EOG Carnival Lessons”. There will be 8 lessons total (4 Math & 4 Reading).
- May 8th Math Lesson 1
- May 10th Reading Lesson 1
- May 15th Math Lesson 2
- May 17th Reading Lesson 2
- May 22nd Math Lesson 3
- May 24th Reading Lesson 3
- May 29th Math Lesson 4
- May 31st Reading Lesson 4
- These lessons will be completely prepared for you with minimal prep on your end, very much like last year! Last year, students had to earn entry into the carnival by completing tasks during their EOG Carnival lessons. This year, they will earn entry into the carnival by doing well on the EOG (either by being proficient or showing significant growth)! The goal of these lessons is to help students reach the proficiency or growth needed to enter the carnival. Therefore, students should be paying attention and participating during the lessons as it will help them on EOG’s! All teachers are expected to do these lessons during Miner Time on the designated dates!!!
