Week 37 - Textbook Returns

Textbook Returns
Our appointment with the library is on Thursday, May 24 for textbook returns.  However, students can start to bring them in any time this week.  I will store them in the classroom until Friday.  Our final exam is on Wednesday, so students may want to keep their books until then.

Field Trip
The beach trip is on Friday!   I'm looking forward to spending the day with the students at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz.

Course for Next Year
Last Wednesday, the students took the Algebra readiness exam.  In order to move on to Algebra 1, students needed at least 80% correct or 36 out of 45.  Each student has already received their score verbally, but a letter will go home to all students with their score and placement for next year.  In case you are curious, 44 out of 82 (54%) students passed the exam.
