Hello Parents!

We have had a great week! All students completed the IReady reading test. They did a great job of trying their best, having a calm and comfortable learning environment, and being positive when some of the questions got hard. I am so proud of them! On Tuesday of next week we will take the IReady math test.

Just a reminder that IReady scores will not go home until conferences in November. We do this as a whole school because it gives us a chance to talk about them together in person.

This week we started Amplify science. We began by going over our Scientist Rules and discussing what we already know about Plants and Animals. Our unit question is: Why aren’t new chalta trees growing in the Bengal Tiger reserve. The unit began with explaining about the tiger reserve in India and showing us how to use handbooks. We will be continuing our investigation and exploring next week.

For Eureka squared math we took our first quiz on Tuesday! The students did awesome at drawing, labeling, and reading graphs. We have moved on to measuring.

I am still assessing for reading levels and so we will have one more week of review before we begin Benchmark Unit 1.

Have a great weekend! 🙂
