Study Guides for Final Tests

Hello!

Things are getting busier as the year is coming to a close! Final field trips, days in class, and….final tests.

Students have been logging ten minutes of studying this week to prepare themselves, and each class recently received a study guide to help guide their studying.

Below I have provided links to these study guides by grade. The tests will be multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false, short answer, and essay. The study guide is written in the format of short answer, as I anticipate those being the hardest to provide the ideas and concepts asked for.

Finals are about two weeks out and the sooner the studying starts, the better! Please encourage your student to study every night and begin to prepare. The more studying and preparing, the more confident students feel going into the test.

Another form of preparation that will be taking place is students will be partnered up (or grouped depending on the class) to create their own review game. These can be structured based off different TV shows or board games or other review strategies students have seen.

Also, pictures of the 8th grade performing their recent Electricity Lab have been included. Please let me know if I can answer any questions or if you have any comments/concerns at kmiller@nativityportland.com.

Thanks!

Ms. Miller

Happy Mother’s Day

I hope you had a great Mother’s Day weekend! The students enjoyed planting the flowers and creating special wrapping unique for each mom.

Many thanks to Ms. Jeanne Prier for donating the supplies for our 2nd Annual Mother’s Day planting. If you would like to get involved or help with next year’s planting, please let me know as kmiller@nativityportland.com.

Thanks!

The floor is mopped, the test tubes are cleaned, the posters are taken down…

Thank you so much for all of your support and help with the Science fair! Whether you had a student participate, donated items, or attended, I would sincerely like to acknowledge all those who volunteered with the Science Fair.
The 8th graders had great experiments, the 6th and 7th grade performances were entertaining, and the PTA provided excellent refreshments.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for the future.
Blessings,
Ms. Miller
