Test taking tips by Regan

Blog Quarter 3: 2-1-21 Because of last week's snow days some tests have been moved to this week. Having so many tests during one week or several in one day can be very stressful, so today I am going to share some test taking advice. One tip is to study a little bit everyday instead of cramming all of your studying into the day before your test/s. If you try to remember everything that you learned in one day you will most likely mix up what you learned and it will be much harder to take the test. Another tip is that if you’re struggling to remember a certain term or definition, come up with a trick to remember it. It doesn’t matter if it sounds weird, all that matters is that you remember it. A strategy that lots of teachers have told us to use during the test is to read the question and choices first then read the passage. This way you know what you’re looking for as you read. If you can’t remember a definition or term I recommend that you create a Quizlet set to practice. Last year I used Quizlet a lot and it really helped me on the tests. Finally, my personal favorite tip. If you can’t remember a term or definition no matter what you do, get out your notes right before you go into the class where you’re taking the test and find the term or definition you need. Once you know it, keep repeating it to yourself until you get your test. Then go immediately to that question and you won’t have to worry about trying to recall the answer later. I don’t use this one often because Quizlet helps me to remember the definitions however if Quizlet doesn’t quite work for you then you could use this one. Remember to go slow and take your time on tests, have a great day!

Book Recommendation by Gaige

Book recommendation 2/2/21 Gaige The collector K.R. Alexander For my book recommendation the book I chose is the collector. This book is about a girl named Josie who loves going and visiting her grandma's house but there are strict rules that are kind of odd. The rules are - never leave the windows open after dark - no dolls in the house ever - and never go into the shack that is in the woods. The book is pretty good. I personally really enjoyed this book because I like weird and spooky books. I recommend this boo to anyone who also

Gardening by Willa

Gardening Over quarantine people have developed many new hobbies. Such as, crocheting, knitting, puzzles, running, hiking, reading, writing, etc. It appears that most things will stay the same over the summer, and the usual summer activities we all look forward to might not be open. So one thing I am very excited to start, and encourage others to start as well is a garden. There are many types of gardens you can start. You can start a flower garden, vegetable garden, fruit garden, or maybe even a succulent garden. Gardening is an easy hobby that is on the cheaper side of things, and is very cost efficient. Flowers and succulents will make your yard look prettier, and give it a sweet smell. People of any age can garden, and I enjoy that I can make gardening a family activity. Along with gardening you can also start a compost bin to help recycling. There are so many benefits to gardens, like it will be cheaper to grow your own veggies, you will help the bees, birds, and butterflies, and certain flowers will keep away pests. Might as well make the best of this situation, and it is never too late to take on a new hobby.

School by Gaige

School has been going very well for me. I've been all virtual for all year and I have enjoyed it so far but it has some down sides and it has a few up sides. The down sides is that sometimes it's hard to understand a lot of the subjects and the up sides are that you can get your school work done whenever time at the same day. Some school work can be difficult but a lot of it would be easy and the test will be the same way

Read and Ride Program by Lundyn

Read and Ride Program The Read and Ride Program is an easy way for students and teachers to get their mind and body working. They will bring a book or check one out here in the Learning Commons. They will read their desired book while sitting on exercise bikes peddling to the speed they feel is comfortable. We will test the bikes with our teachers and Techsperts to make sure the cleaning process is safe. We will announce when it is open to the rest of the students. Hope to see you there. By: Lundyn
