The week ahead...

AP warriors-

It's a big week this week with the "finish line" of the AP exam on Thursday, May 5. Here are a few reminders as we head into a short, but busy week.

TODAY
Saturday, April 30

You may recognize one of our very own AP warriors in the Herald-Palladium today. In fact there is a whole article complete with pictures dedicated to Miss Blossomtime 2011, Lisa Bowman! Great article, Lisa!! Grab a copy of today's paper and check it out. There is also a schedule for next Saturday's Blossomtime Parade line-up.


MONDAY
May 2
We'll be looking at poetry, but thankfully no dead animals or soldiers this time. Remember that I'll be checking off your list of "Top Ten Tough Terms" from the big pink literary terms packet. These can be in word/definition list or flash card form.



TUESDAY
May 3

We'll be doing another timed multiple choice practice test, but this time you'll have the entire hour to work. On the actual AP exam, you'll have 60 minutes for 55 questions - the same as the AP exam. We'll spend Wednesday's class going over the practice test and you'll have a chance to score your results.





WEDNESDAY
May 4

Our last day of class review before the exam!! We'll touch base on a few last minute concerns as well as grade the practice test from Tuesday. If you have an "exam day" questions to ask, this would be a good time to ask them.

Wednesday evening 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
I have reserved the community room at the Bridgman Public Library for our evening review. I will be ordering pizza. Come for part of the time, come for the whole time, bring a beverage of your choosing, and we'll have an opportunity to go over previous exams, do more practice M/C tests, or just blow off some steam before the big day on Thursday.



THURSDAY
MAY 5

AP English Literature exam at Lakeshore High School. You are to report to Lakeshore HS by 7:30 AM. The test will take approximately 3 hours from the time the exam begins (around 8 AM). Following the exam, you are expected to report back to BHS or the Math-Science Center for your afternoon classes.



FRIDAY
May 6

NO SCHOOL - Professional Development day for teachers.
Sleep in, relax, make up your mind between the front seat or the backseat. IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY!!



SATURDAY
May 7

The Blossomtime Parade kicks off on Main Street in St. Joe. Come out to cheer on our queens, Kelsey and Lisa, and the Spirit of Bridgman Marching Band!
