Pretend you are back in kindergarten. What would happen if crayons were on strike?

Describe and sketch each day of the week as if it were a person.

2) Tutorial Analysis Grade Reflection (20 min)
**The purpose of a TAG is to self-evaluate your Tutorial process. Do you choose the most helpful topics for TRFs? What should you consider when choosing?**

2. Fill out Part A of the TAG Reflection.
1. Use your progress reports and PowerSchool to fill in your most current grades.

1. Take out your 4 most recent TRFs.
2. Mark what class they are about and where the question is from and then the grades. 
3. Count up your total and record this in the Overall row and and table.
4. Answer the final question. Do your TRFs match your areas for growth?

1. Put your sticky note on your TAG.
2. Write your subject for this week on your new TRF. This should match your sticky note UNLESS you have a major assignment or test in another class.
