Today students played 1st Nine Weeks Review Jeopardy to help them prepare for the Alabama Science Assessment on April 5th. During the next few weeks students will be taking the ARMT and SAT. Additionally, 7th grade students will take the Alabama Science Assessment which covers the 11 standards taught during this school year. We will be reviewing all 11 standards in a variety of ways in the upcoming weeks in an effort to refresh their memories regarding material taught earlier this year.

REMINDER: Testing begins Thursday, March 24th. Students should get plenty of rest each night and start the day with a healthy breakfast.

HOMEWORK–None…however, I did attach 1st nine weeks review jeopardy at the beginning of my post in case you want to review for the ASA.
