The end of the year & perhaps start of a new beginning...

[Jennifer Sekella]

We are quickly approaching the end of the school year.  My kids take their SOL (standardized state test) on Tuesday - so I'm searching for things to run them through on Monday - drill and kill.  But, I'd also like to find some games to play with them that will teach them.  Any ideas?  My boss has mentioned cause & effect - and I have a Smart Board "game" with figurative language.  I'll probably use that.  I could really use some help.  And any suggestions for the rest of the year - we're doing a narrative writing as soon as the exam is over - after watching 4 Little Girls.  And then the poor kids have to churn out a Persuasive Essay.  We've given them some topics to make life easier. 

 

I am looking to find a new job for next year - high school, college, or a job in a different district or even different school.

 

Anyone with ideas about that - let me know!!!
