A Lot Going On

It has been a busy couple of weeks in the class. We have finished up with Unit 1 and the test scores were in the mid 70's overall. I am starting to see a little bit of worrying from the open response portions of each test since the tests are scored: 50% Multiple Choice and 50% Open Response. Do not worry! We are going to practice open responses and ways, such as RAPS, to take them. Then there will be no worries with ORQ's. On a good note, the retakes of the Unit 2 test were 12 points higher than last time which shows a better effort on the students' part, WAY TO GO! We will be moving into Unit 3 soon, starting with a pre-assessment test, and I will be going at a slow pace to make sure everyone understands what we are doing.
