The beginning..... Permission Slips

I have spoken with administration, since GCHS is focused on curricular and making sure we are teaching "bell to bell" I wanted to communicate with administration the focus behind this project. Administration is supportive and seem anxious to view the results of this inquiry as well as speak to the students to see if they gained some knowledge. We hope that test taking strategies will be benefical to students.

I decided to have my students to create posters during the inquiry, it is my belief that students will take ownership in the inquiry and buy into the strategies.

Friday, I plan on having students sign off on permission slips as well as making a call home to the students parents. As many of you already know, I teacher juniors and seniors, so several of the students are 18 years old and sign there own permission slips. However, as a courtesy to the parents I will telephone each of them throughout the day. With small class such as mine telephoning parents is a very simple task. (My largest class is Geometry with 8 students, and 6 of those students are in my Math Development class.)

I am anxious to get started and finished. And hope to get started on Monday or Tuesday, because this is the week before SPRING BREAK...

Grant Co. is off for a week, can you believe it we actually got to our entire week.... So I want to relax, finish up and hopefully enjoy a few nice sunny days.
