Welcome back!

I hope that everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend. I enjoyed time spent with family, even though it was a very cold Saturday of sitting and watching softball and football!

On Monday, our faculty spent the day at Shoreland Lutheran High School with other teachers from the area learning about forms of assessments.  There are many ways that teachers can assess students and it is not just through a test or a written assignment. I will be working on implementing a few of the ideas that I learned yesterday including one that I already used with the students today. They are called "exit cards" and I will mainly use them for Math. They are mini-assignments that the students do before we are done with math class. They tell me if the concept taught was grasped. I correct them and then talk over the ones marked wrong with the individual student. Today went very well! I did promise to make the writing space easier to write on...I'm still learning :-)

Homework:

Christ Light - Ws. 7b from last Wednesday
Catechism - Ws. 13
