Hello Everyone!
Today we started NWEA testing with reading. We completed half of the test (I am breaking it up into smaller sections so that students can focus better) and we will finish testing tomorrow. Any students who do not finish tomorrow will be given time to finish Tuesday.
Homework for tonight:
- Go on study Island ELA under clever and practice for the NWEA reading test tomorrow. I recommend you practice for at least 15 minutes.
- Practice your spelling words- we have a spelling test tomorrow.
Reminder:
- Tomorrow is a half day. We end school at 11:45 tomorrow.
- We have no school on Monday (MLK Jr. Day).
- We have a half day on Tuesday- school ends at 11:45.

Happy Wednesday!
Today we had a wonderful field trip to the children’s theater in Northville. We saw Tinker Bell and Peter Pan visit storybook land. It was great to see the children experience attending a show with acting, music, props, and a stage. Thank you to our two chaperones who came with us 🙂 I really appreciate it!
Tomorrow we begin NWEA testing for reading. We will start tomorrow and continue testing Friday morning if we need more time. All the students will need to read all of the words themselves- the computer does not read it to them and I am not allowed to help them. Students can practice for NWEA by going on study island under Clever, and clicking ELA. They should also be reading their leveled books out of their reading bags.
I have been doing DRA tests this past week and will continue next week. I will send home a paper with your child’s NWEA scores and current DRA level once every child has been tested (I’m anticipating at the end of next week).
