This Month in ELD

During the month of December, your students toured Meadow Brook Hall, the fourth largest historic home in the United States. Ask them about this field trip. They have tons of amazing details to share with you.

Ruby won the Art Award last year with her artwork “Man’s Best Friend.” This is an Acrylic on Panel.

It is of essence to remind our students/children of the importance of high school midterms that are coming up!

Assessment of learning: Midterms provide a comprehensive evaluation of how well students have grasped the course material up to that point in the semester.

Early intervention: By identifying areas of weakness early on, students can focus their study efforts and seek help from teachers or tutors to improve their understanding before the material becomes more complex.

Study habit development: Preparing for midterms encourages students to develop effective study habits, such as note-taking, reviewing key concepts, and time management.

College preparedness: Midterms simulate the types of tests students will encounter in college, helping them practice critical thinking and test-taking strategies.

Course correction opportunity: Teachers can use midterm results to adjust their teaching methods and pace to better support student learning.
