Pretests and Schedule for the week, also websites are hard :)

This week we are doing, or have done, the following:

Monday: 6th Grade course Pretest
Tuesday: Section 1-1 Rounding and Estimating
Wednesday: Section 1-2 Dividing multi-digit numbers
Thursday: Basic Skills Test Day 1
Friday: Basic Skills Test conclusion

The pretest is designed to see how much growth is made over the school year before we teach the concepts and then after we teach the concepts at the end of the year.  There is also a mid year test to see progress as well.

The Basic Skills Test is a compilation of skills that should be known entering middle school math.  This is a more comprehensive test for us to see needs and also start helping to relearn those concepts to help the students be as successful as they can be.

Next week we will be continuing chapter one from the Holt book.

Still working on passwords and entering students into the computer for you to log in and see the online features.  I will tell students in class when this happens and also post here.

Finally, still working on the website thing, it's like a new language for me, but I'm learning.

Just for fun:
