Final Countdown


 Today we kicked off the review of the final exam with a pre-final quiz in Geometry B and activities designed by your fellow classmates in Geometry A. The format and types of questions on the Pre-Final Quiz/Exams are similar to what you will see on the actual final. Next week, we will be doing various in-class activities/games and working on the review packet. As we go through the material, note what you are struggling with and make sure to ask for help.  

 The final countdown has begun. Next week is our last regular week of the semester with finals the following week. As we prepare to end the semester, there are several dates and things to keep in mind.

· Missing Work: After Tuesday, missing work will not be accepted unless you serve an after-school detention. No exceptions.

· Missing Quizzes/Exam: If you missed any quizzes/exams throughout the quarter, then you must make them up by Tuesday.

· Missing Portfolio Check: If you missed a portfolio check (we’ve had 3 this quarter), then be sure to turn yours in on Wednesday. If you’ve never turned one in, now’s the time to do it.

· Final Review Packet: The final review packet will be due on Thursday. It will count as an exam grade. Make sure to bring it to class every day next week. You will have daily quizzes off of it. 

· Book: You may start turning in your books any day next week. Keep in mind, they must be turned in by the day of your final exam.

· End of Semester Extra Credit: The end-of-semester extra credit assignment is due by Thursday. If you plan on doing it, make sure to complete it by then.
