ACT Prep & Psychology

ACT Prep

This was a great first week back with my new ACT Prep students.
They are learning about what to expect when they take the ACT.
Remember the first time or two of taking it, is to simply to get your feet wet and find out where you need your biggest areas of improvement.
I encourage ALL 10th graders to go ahead and take the ACT as soon as they can!
We took a math practice exam Thursday and Friday....can't wait to see how they scored on Monday!
Jan 12-19, we will review our math answers and then talk about what it takes to be a leader!

Psychology

Great first week back!
We are taking notes on Chapter 12:  Motivation & Emotion.
We had a guest speaker Friday....THANK YOU Mr. Don Simmons for sharing your words in hopes of "motivating" us to make good decisions.
Jan. 12-19, we will continue Chapter 12 and test on it near the end of the week!
