Swann Lion Times
Your Weekly Update about our Lion Pride!
What Our Lions Are Learning
This week, we were treated to performances by our 6th grade orchestra, everyone took their math EOG and 8th graders took their Math 1 EOC, and students who showed their PRIDE during the week had Lunch on the Lawn. During the week, classes played review games, took sample tests, and completed review packets.
As we look ahead to the last two weeks, the most important thing you can do with your child is talk to them about how to finish the year strong. Remind them about behavior expectations, encourage them to get enough sleep, and help them get to school on time. Talk to them about figurative language, theme, plot, vocabulary, and main idea. Read with them! Play games like Quizziz, Blooket, or Kahoot to review vocabulary.
This coming week students will take their Reading EOG, 8th graders will take their Science EOG, and 7th grade Math 1 students will take their EOC. Encourage them to do their bests!
The Reading EOG is Wednesday 5/31
The 8th Grade Science EOG is Friday 6/2
Master Vocab List (make your own games or quiz your child!)
