Quick End of Week Updates!

The days and weeks seem to be FLYING by!!!

Today we finished Benchmark Unit 7. Took our assessment on Maps & Globes and wrote our final animal writing. They certainly have been busy.

We completed the Eureka math lesson at 2:45 pm today so I am attaching the correct answers and the page is in their yellow folders. Just glance this over please. I showed the color tiles on the board and they had to group them for the number bond.

In yellow folders today is a library card application! Please read the letter and fill out COMPLETELY before returning. It is a contest of which class gets the most! 🙂

(**If your child already has a library card then just email me and let me know)

Reminder that the students should bring a coat to school EVERY DAY! This weather is all over the place and we go outside unless its raining or below 20 degrees feels like (although I hope those days are over it has been 40 this week when we went out).

Have a great weekend!

Important IReady Information

Hello Families!

We have had more training on the IReady assessment. After going through the data and results we are learning that the more familiarity the students have with the iready pathways learning portal, the more accurate the scores are. In our building the 2nd-5th graders have been working on it in class a couple times a week and scores seem to be pretty consistent with the oral teacher assessments. 

We want to make sure our students are prepared and having the best chance at doing well at the assessment. Mrs. Schneider, Mrs. Angela, and Mrs. Fournier have decided to begin having the students work on  IReady pathways two mornings a week at school. The older kids will help our students log in and get started and they will complete a lesson before we begin morning meeting. 

This means we need your child to be at school by 9 am! We would still encourage you to practice at home if possible.

Next week we will begin our new morning routines. Please let us know if you have any questions. 

End of Week Updates!

Hard to believe we had spring and winter weather this week! We have been busy working on the next math unit (number bonds), Benchmark Holidays and Celebrations, Birds animal unit, and Leap Day. The students have been busy bees. For a bird project we made bird feeders this afternoon. The students can hang or put them outside and feed the birds. It is an easy and fun way to wrap up the week!

Reminder we go outside if feels like is above 20 degrees! SO many were thrown off with the cold coming back. I remind the students each day that they should have coats, hats, gloves EVERY DAY. If weather gets warmer we can leave them in our lockers. We go outside each afternoon if it is warm enough and they should be prepared no matter what.

For Leap day we buried a time capsule! On the next leap day- February 29, 2028 they will unbury it from our courtyard with their fourth grade teacher!

Next week we will finish our last Montessori animal unit- amphibians. Then they have a few weeks to complete the homework assignment. Please let me know if you have any questions about that.

The flu and pink eye are still something to watch out for. Please make sure your child is feeling ok before bringing them to school. I am cloroxing the desks at the end of the day to try and stop the spread! Hopefully next weeks warm weather will help break these germs!

Have a great weekend!
