CHESTERFIELD OBSERVER
Well, the SOLs are upon us again. Please study! You have heard me say this countless times in class...(if you were listening!)...this is the hardest SOL test of them all in middle school. Unfortunately, for the most part, it is sheer memorization. Is that necessarily the best way to learn social studies, to memorize stuff? Not really...it is more important to understand the reasons behind things and to draw connections...at least in my opinion. But, we are a product of a testing environment, and you do need to make the effort to do your best.
I have confidence that you'll do well, that you'll study until you know the material. The great thing that you have going for you is that you do care about your grades, and you take pride in your work. You have one more thing to study for..then you can relax! You can do it!
I have been working since Memorial Day weekend on a compilation of pictures from the year. When your parents see it, they'll realize just how much you've grown this year. As I looked at some of the pictures from September and October, I realized just how much you've grown.
6th graders...I am looking forward to your Civil War dramatizations...y'all will do well...(picture saying that with a think southern accent...)
7th graders...I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your decades projects. You will do this mostly in school, and we will begin tomorrow after your SOL....
