I gave the cherubs a surprise quiz, today, on the first section of the Space textbook -- A Trip Through the Universe. Despite the repeated action given to the three types of galaxies in the universe and the return of homework to fix errors, the munchkins royally bombed the one-question quiz.
Fear not! Tomorrow, they are getting a 10-question multiple-choice test on sections 1 and 2 of the chapter. These grades count! It will give me time to record the grades and print out progress reports for the office. The cherubs will have to wait until Friday to get their progress reports.
Chase Showed Initiative
Chase took it upon herself to interview adults in our building about voting. We are learning about the voting process in Social Studies. I was shocked to not only see her interviews, but, she also typed-out the questions she asked those adults. We are discussing the original Constitution that permitted only white men of property, 18-years or older, to vote. Today, we got as far as womens' suffrage, and tomorrow, the civil rights movement. I gotta couple 'o' kids that are proud to call themselves Americans and want to learn more about our voting process. I feel like that mini-shredded wheat biscuit wiping away a tear, proclaiming his pride in a young man that was able to show his teacher he was paying attention.
Have a great night folks.
