Week of 3/21
Good morning!
This week we are busy with preparing for the CAASPP test as well as our own testing in the classroom. Thursday students will be taking the CAASPP Language Arts Performance Task from 10:30-12:30. I had previously stated we would be testing starting at 8:30 but we have switched it to 10:30 to disrupt the students schedule as little as possible. It's important that students get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast on the morning of the test. We will also have a snack time before testing, so it would be a good idea for students to bring a snack to have snack before taking their test. Please let me know if you have any questions about CAASPP testing.
Because we are testing this week and there was no school today, we are doing test review this week and students will not have spelling or vocabulary, spelling and vocabulary will resume next week. This week students will also take their Chapter 7 Math test. Chapter 7 was about multiplying fractions. Students will have a review test for homework tomorrow and will take the test Wednesday.
Tomorrow night, March 21st, is Literacy Night from 5:00-6:30. Join us in our classroom for reading related activities. I will have different things that you can take home to help your child practice reading and vocabulary strategies.
Quarter 3 ends March 31st; any missing or late work should be turned in this week so I can grade it to put in in the gradebook for report cards. Progress reports were sent home last week. If your student hasn't shown you their progress report, please ask them for it. They are to be signed by you and turned back in to me. Parent teacher conferences will take place April 19th and 20th, sign up for that will be after the Spring Break.
Book reports are due Thursday, March 30th. If your student needs help, please have them let me know and I'm happy to help.
