As part of our assessment and teaching cycle, students are taking "Practice" ELA and Math assessments this week.
Monday - ELA Mutltiple Choice
Tuesday - ELA Short Response and Extended Response
Wednesday - Math Multiple Choice
Thursday (or Friday) - Math Short Response and Extended Response.
Sidebar - The regular Math Chapter 4 test on division will be either Thursday or Friday as well, so in the midst of checking state test preparedness, we are still doing regular curriculum and assessment. Please make sure you are going over homework with your child nightly.
There were a lot of students absent today (4 to be exact!). Please make every effort to be at school on a daily basis. You can't learn and grow if you are not here. It is pretty simple. I have not missed a single day of school this year. Just saying!
Today's schedule:
1st - ReadyGen 2b.5 (Chapter 9)
2nd - Dance
3rd/4th - ELA Multiple Choice Practice Test
4th/5th - Finish 2b.5 Chapter
5th - Division with Regrouping practice
6th - Lunch
7th - GoMath 4.11 Animated Math Model on Smartboard
Parents... Please make sure that you talk to your child about the following issues that we are dealing with right now:
Homework:
Writing: Opinion Paragraph: Which would you rather have - Old Tallow's Coat or the perfectly beaded bag? Focus on the pps 124 and 126 of The Birchbark House for evidence to support your opinion.
Math: Division Practice Sections 1, 2 and 3 (37 problems - MUST SHOW WORK!)
Monday - ELA Mutltiple Choice
Tuesday - ELA Short Response and Extended Response

Parents... Please make sure that you talk to your child about the following issues that we are dealing with right now:
- Students are not paying attention during math class - then they are "confused" when asked to do work...
- Students are not closely reading their independent reading books - they are not getting high enough passing percentages when taking their AR tests - they have to start taking their reading more serious and I need you to talk to them about how important reading time is.
- Practice their multiplication and division facts nightly!!
- I will be starting to call home daily for students who would rather talk than work. I want to give you the heads up so maybe you can talk to them before I have to call.
Homework:
