No School Thursday/Studying Tip for Finals!

As you are aware there is no school tomorrow Thursday, January 7th (YAY!!!!!!!).  However, that doesn't mean you can't study for the final exam!

Feel free to play the Who Wants to be a Millionaire game and create your own flash cards out of the questions and answers (the link is on the right hand side of the website), or create flash cards out of the questions and answers from today's practice test.  

What's that?  You weren't here today (you had good reason due to the cold).  The practice test can be found by clicking the image below!






Flash cards can be made by taking squares of paper or index card (note cards) and writing the question on one side and the answer on the other.  Once you have made a set of them (about 20 is good to start) quiz yourself, read the questions and see if you can answer it.  If you can successfully answer it multiple times, odds are you got the answer memorized and you can put the card aside.  If you can't then keep it in your stack until you can.  

Once you've completed this create a new set of cards with new questions and answers and repeat until you no longer need any cards.  If there are questions that you can't remember the answer to no matter what, that's a good sign you should put it on a note card to use on the final exam!


Good luck and enjoy your day off!

In Solidarity,

Mr. Dunbeck
