Hello parents,
A few reminders:
– The M-STEP window has opened April 29th. Please make sure students are getting a good sleep and breakfast in the morning. We will mostly test in the mornings but may have to continue in the afternoon if needed. It is important to talk to your child to take this test seriously since it is a state test. You will get your child’s results in the mail to show if your child is proficient or not.
-NWEA testing will be May 13th
-Please make sure your child is doing their nightly reading and spelling
-There is no math homework from Monday until Wednesday. Your child does have the homework for Thursday and Friday so do not work on it until Thursday.
– Students can practice on MSTEP using the dearbornschools.org website, click on student portal under home, click on MSTEP, click on mstep online tools training, click on sample item sets, grade 3 then they have the option of ELA or Math. I have showed them how to get this page at school.
-In addition to reading, spelling, and math homework. It is crucial to work on multiplication facts especially using the strategy of skip-counting. Our goal is to have ALL students learn the facts for mastery.
If you have any questions, please let me know 🙂
Thank you,
Mrs. Attia
