SAT prep need not start in kindergarten, but a few months away from the SAT... or the night before, or never, if you're like many of my friends. <BR/><BR/>I mean, obvioulsy homework is the usual way to reinforce, but there ought to be less of it. In fourth grade, we had to do a book report every week with these elaborate projects accompanying it. At first it was just dioramas (?) and such, but soon it was a bust of the main character carved out of a bar of soap. I'm not kidding. Who did the teacher think would be doing that? After that one, my mom went in and laid into said teacher. She had eight other kids- she didn't have time to carve a bust out of soap for my weekly book report. Sorry, tangent.<BR/><BR/>Umm, I don't know how else to reinforce class learning, but there's got to be a better way. Go ask the internet.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537531293532622145noreply@blogger.com
