Curriculum Night!
Just a quick reminder that Marshall's Curriculum Night will take place tomorrow evening from 5:30 - 7:37 p.m. There is a spaghetti dinner from 5:30 - 6:00 for $4.00 per person. The dinner includes spaghetti, salad, breadstick, milk and dessert.
There will be a brief introduction by Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Hayes at 6:00 and then parents/guardians will follow your schedule and hear a 12-minute presentation in each class.
I will not be able to attend Curriculum Night because of a previous engagement.
Happy Monday,

States and Capitals
Congratulations to those who checked the blog last night and learned that there would be a pop quiz on the states and capitals today. Because of our Name Art presentations, we didn't have as much time to complete this pre-test, but we will tomorrow. Fourth period was able to take the states pre-test and will take the capitals pre-test tomorrow. Fifth period completely ran out of time and will take both pre-tests tomorrow.
The pre-test is a self-assessment. The scores for these first tests will not go into Skyward, but will be used for you to determine what you know and what you need to work on. We will continue to study the states and capitals in class and I will share with you a number of strategies for learning this geography. I encourage you to spend 10+ minutes of home study every day in order to be successful on the upcoming official test.
The first official test will take place next Friday, September 30. Those grades will be posted, but students may re-take the test at anytime before the end of the quarter during Core/Flex time.
Good luck!
