Here’s the scoop on what we did this week.
Students as a group have completed all M-Step testing and NWEA testing for Math and Language Arts. A few students will be doing make-ups or finishing up if needed. Ask your child to see their scores ( they are in their planners, bllue page 6) The only test remaining is NWEA Science which is scheduled for Monday.
In the shortened classes, students should have finished their visual storyboard (illustrations only) and are currently working on their oral retelling of their folktale.Students will need to continue practicing at home so that they can tell the story in a way that makes it come alive for the audience (no note cards) as that is how folktales were told and passed down from generation to generation. Be prepared for them to ask you to be their audience and critique and encourage them to hone their performance. I have also encouraged them to practice in front of a mirror. Our dress rehearsal is on Monday. Presentations begin on Tuesday and wrap on Thursday.
This week’s Reading and Writing Challenge is due Monday.

Reminder Report cards for 5th marking are going home today.
Please check with your child on supplies, many students are coming to class without pencils/pens or paper. Yesterday I loaned out 21 pencils/pens for the day. I wish that was a hyperbole but it wasn’t. Last hour I was running out myself.
