Happy Halloween!


1. The History of Halloween
2. Test Reflection 
3. Re-Test Rules (Disclaimer: This option may not always be available, and the re-test may be harder.)
  • Everyone can re-do parts/all of their test. And, you can do it more than once! I will take your best score. 
  • You will need to reflect on what you did well and what you didn't do so well, to help learn from your habits.
  • I am available throughout most days to help go over the material (whether it's just one questions or lots of questions)! You just need to schedule a time with me.
  • I offer the opportunity. Be responsible and take advantage of the opportunity.

It's Wednesday Already?

Today, we are going to reflect on our post-high school plans, as well as reflect on the Unit 1 Test process to help us know where we’re at, where we’re going, and how we’re going to get there.
  1. Warm-Up: Reflect on the College & Career Center session. What new things did you learn? How did the presentation/college cruising help you (or not)? What is the next step you’re taking?
  2. Test Correction (at your table groups)
  3. Test Reflection (No wt u no n dnt no!)-Use this time for see what you did well, and what you did not do so well, and think about and write how you and I will learn from it. (CLICK HERE FOR HANDOUT)
