Welcome back to all my little Falcons! It seems that we all had a great and much-needed holiday break, and now we're back ready to put our noses to the grindstone! Well, maybe we're not all totally ready for the grindstone....but, we're back, nonetheless.
I want to give a warm blogger welcome to Mrs. Pettigrew, our new student teacher for the next seven weeks. You all met her today and I think she is going to be a wonderful asset to our team for the next month and a half. We need to get a picture of her online.
This week we are taking the pulse of our knowledge-base. We have taken the released 7th grade TCAP Social Studies test from 2010, and as we began reviewing our answers today, I realized that I was pleasantly surprised by the initial results for most classes. Now the work begins to fill in the rest of the gaps (we have 4 more SPI's to cover) and to begin the review process. You know, I am pretty proud to be the teacher of such a smart group of boys and girls. Many of you amazed me with the logic of your reasoning today when explaining why you chose a particular answer.
We will finish the test review up tomorrow and then begin our study of world leaders and government models on Friday. See you in the morning!
