Hello Parents! It was such a busy day I just had a chance to finally post!
We have had quite the week…. and got EVERYTHING DONE! It was quite impressive. We were able to finish our IReady reading and from what I have seen so far they did AMAZING! I am SO PROUD of them and how hard they have been working…. It truly is so cool to see their growth and how much they have learned this first half of the year. Scores will be coming home soon… I am still waiting for some makeups to be done and for us to do the math portion. I am continuing to do the phonics testing and will assess reading levels next week to turn in to the district by the end of the month. We will start Unit 5 Week 3 on Tuesday when we return from the long weekend to wrap up our technology talks and how inventions have helped improve our lives.
For Eureka math we are in Module 3 which is all about shapes! We built 2D shapes with spaghetti and moved on to 3D this week. We have worked on faces and vertices along with now talking about how we can use polygons to make larger polygons. This has branched into halves/thirds/fourths. We are going to continue working on this for the next few weeks because it will appear on the iReady math assessment!
In Science we started our new unit properties of matter. We will use our 5 senses to describe the properties of things. Great job to all of my friends who did their homework last night… they walked around and had their friends try to guess which beverage they were describing. If the friend got it right in three guesses they got a high five! Next week we will continue our science lessons.
We will plan on taking the Math iReady on Tuesday morning first thing.
Although ….next week we have some pretty cold weather happening! Make sure to be watching Monday night in case they call a snow/cold day for Tuesday. I have no idea and we get the same call as you. I play volleyball from 9-10 and will post before or after if I hear anything. If we do get the day off then we will push back iready.
I also have to call in Tuesday night for Jury Duty! (next week just sounds so chaotic already!). So I do have a sub lined up in case they make me report. The students were very interested today when they heard about it. If I do not have to report and I’m at school then we will do the math iReady or do make up iReady tests on Wednesday since we only have until Friday to finish all of the testing. I will post on the blog the night before so everyone knows when we will plan on taking the math iReady and if i will be in or not.
Reminder no school on Monday in observance of MLK day!
Have a great long weekend and stay warm!!! I told the kiddos I will be snuggling my puppy Mabel to get some extra warmth! <3
