All grades finish benchmarks

February 11, 2014

All+grades+finish+benchmarks

This is the time of year when students are rushing to get tests, projects and presentations done for the end of the second marking period. Some of these classes are studying hard for their upcoming tests. Some seventh graders are having their first benchmark project. Having so many projects and tests to do in such a short amount of time can be stressful, especially for these new seventh graders. Eighth graders are being introduced to public speaking, some of them must do presentations for their benchmark projects. Everyone handles stress differently, and it all depends on the amount of work and the person.
