Weekly Plans for May 18 - 22, 2020 (Last week of Actual Classes)

This week will be devoted to reviewing the school year.  Although we are not, officially, having finals, I will post what would be similar to the final exam and we, all, will answer the questions and have some fun with it. The questions will include everything, from grammar and diagramming sentences to Macy's and the proper information about interviews and job applications.

Of course, this will not be a grade, but we will see the questions and go over them, as a class, just to review and understand what we attempted and accomplished this past year.

Monday's final zoom: meeting will go over the questions involving what might have been the final exam.

The final few days involve Memorial Day, (Monday, May 25th) (no zooms), "virtual field day",  
8th-grade graduation, and other things. Your parents have gotten the end-of-the-year schedule that we will follow as we close out the school year.

THE LAST, OFFICIAL SCHOOL DAY IS FRIDAY, MAY 22ND.
