Good Afternoon Haigh Families! Happy May! I cannot believe the school year is almost complete. Please be sure to review the Haigh Summer School opportunity that was sent to your email last week and under updates in Schoology. This is an AWESOME opportunity for your Haigh Owl! Your child will get extra support/enrichment in reading, math, and writing while enjoying special classes like stem, gardening, and PE. Be sure to sign up for this FREE program by the May 14th deadline.
Last week we began our ELA M-Step testing. Students worked hard and many finished this assessment. Students who completed the ELA portion will begin math this week. Students who are still working will continue to complete the ELA and move on to math once complete. My goal is to be done with M-Step testing by the end of this week.
While working hard on our M-Step last week, students also learned MANY new math vocabulary words in preparation for their math M-Step and NWEA assessments. Ask your child some of the new words they learned. We also worked hard at learning about the different types of graphs and how to interpret information about each. This week students will take their unit 6 math test on Thursday(A), Friday(B). We completed the unit 6 study guide this week in class. Please remind, encourage, and support your child in reviewing this sheet with them.
This week we will read and learn about different types of extreme weather. Students will begin to gather information about 3 of these types of weather to complete an essay about extreme weather to go along with our ELA and science unit.
Reminders for the week:
- Check in for students on their “Off” days is at 8:40. Many students have been showing up late or not at all. This creates a gap in their understanding of assignments and leads to missing assignments and inconsistent practice of a skill
- Please review missing assignments with your child
- Math test Thursday (A), Friday (B)
- Students will be getting a NEW math learn book this week, we will begin using it on Wednesday
- Check out the summer school information that was sent out last week; deadline is May 14th
- Please remind your child to bring all reading and math books to school each day along with their fully charged Chromebook
- Please head on over to Schoology to access this week’s assignment sheet under updates
