Wow! everything I heard about this class is true. I'm blown away by the Benchmark Test Scores! This class is funny, smart, fun to teach, and full of great potential. Thanks parents for your gift to Clinton Middle School!
You will find info about what we will do each day in class and when assignments are due. I have two different types of classes, Regular and Challenge. You will also be informed when projects are due and how far you should be on them to get them competed on time. I hope the format is helpful.
Attention all Parents: Teachers at CMS are working very hard to have your child master the Benchmarks for the Oklahoma Pass. They must pass their reading test to get a driver's license. This 7th grade class will not be able to get a high school diploma unless they pass exit tests. You can help by having your child read at home, study and review Science Process Benchmarks with your child, and talk about what your child did in science today. Thanks! Together we can prepare your child to be a WINNER! The P.A.S.S. requirements can be found on the Oklahoma State Department of Education at http://sde.state.ok.us/home/defaultie.html
Students need to study the science processes "cheat sheet". They will use these skills in class every week of school from 7th through college level. These skills will help them pass their CRT's next year in science.
Students need to study on the microscope hand-outs. Regulars must make an "A" and Honors must make a 100. Students will have 3 tries in class to pass the test. They will not be allowed to participate in the microscope lab. I will give them an alternate assignment during this time. If they do not reach the targeted grade during the class time testing, they may come in before or after school and re-take the test.
