Homecoming Week and Test Redo's #2
This week has been very stressful and busy with all of our students going crazy over homecoming. I am very pleased with our Wild Warrior Women and their support and whole school spirit today.
On a teaching note: I have decided that I am going to still do test redo's however I have changed the rules on who gets to make up the test if they earn a D or an F. Everytime a student comes in for help I am going to mark them down in my planner and if they come in for help at least two times during that unit and they still don't understand the material then I will allow them to redo the test to earn a 70%. I feel like this is going to get ride of those students who are counting on the redo to bring up their grade that are not putting in the effort prior to the test. This way the students who are really trying to understand and just need some more one on one instruction have the opportunity to show me that they are learning and understanding the material, but just at a different pace. We will see how this goes for this unit :)

Cool idea, Missy! You are doing great things for students and I like the way you are holding them accountable.
