In the final weeks of May, students will have a chance to reflect, re-see, and review during their academic classes. Grades 7 through 12 will have end of year assessments and final exams to prepare for, and as teachers wrap up the academic year, special attention will be spent on connecting to the past. Students will have a chance to compare and contrast different books, connect varied mathematical functions in multi-step assignments, make connections between historical events, and analyze classical texts with a sense of purpose during this time. The purpose of the end of year assessments is to give a chance for students to think critically and cumulatively about what they have learned, make abstract connections between ideas, compare and analyze from a vantage point of expertise. This is also a particularly important time for students to attend tutorial to review and ask questions as they look back!
