Students are gearing up for their MCAS exams, which began today with the 5th grade. All students will test this Thursday, then again next Tuesday through Thursday, with Friday and Monday being reserved as make up days.
In between MCAS preparations, I worked with some Gemini 6th graders today as they learned how to use our brand new online catalog and to search for books of interest. They will return again tomorrow. I met with their teacher to introduce the Big 6 as a way to help them with their upcoming project on Rome. I also met with one of the 5th grade teachers, and we are planning upcoming research lessons for their Biography reports using the Big 6.
On my way home, I continued practicing my speech, as I graduate this Sat. from Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science, and will be the guest speaker for my fellow graduates.
