Good afternoon Haigh families. I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend and enjoyed seeing the sunshine!
This week we will have a busy week with NWEA and DRA testing.Third graders only have to take the reading portion for winter testing. NWEA will be on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. NWEA testing will be completely virtual and I have divided the class into 2 testing groups in order to manage questions and troubleshooting during the test. Please take a look at the schedule and time that your child will log on to Zoom on Tuesday and Thursday to complete their test. To make sure your child’s device is compatible with the NWEA assessment, please take a minute to perform the device readiness check below (Thank you to those who have already done this).
Along with NWEA, I will also be giving DRA testing during learning lab time. I have created a schedule for this as well. Like NWEA, we will be doing this via Zoom. Please note that if your child is not on the schedule, it is because Mrs. Nardone will be testing them during learning lab or in class time. Please review the schedule below.
Reminders for the week:
- Monday we will have our unit 3 math test. Study guide was reviewed in class Friday and shared on Schoology.
- Tuesday we will not have our regular reading and math block due to NWEA testing. See schedule above. There are still some assignments/activities for your child to complete.
- Thursday we will be testing (During our reading block) but in a shorter time frame. We will still have math class at 11:00-11:45
- Learning lab READING GROUPS are canceled due to DRA testing, however, math extra practice time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will still be available from 1:20-1:50
- Please talk to your child about the importance of participating during class time. Last week I had a hard time getting students to participate in class discussions. I know that learning virtually is not ideal, but it is our only mode at this time. Participation and effort go a long way in ensuring success for your child.
- Please review the weekly assignment sheet with your child. Please note that this could change due to time frames
- Please make sure your child is completing their daily assignments along with practicing math facts and reading daily
Looking forward to a great week ahead!
