Good Evening Parents,
Thank you to all of those parents who have signed up for our Kid’s Heart Challenge! Our class has the most individuals signed up so far! Please continue supporting this challenge and collecting pop tabs/pet supplies! Our community thanks you! This week marks the final week in our second marking period. During this week, your child will be taking some assessments to determine where they are in our class.
On Friday your child received their science test from Unit 2. Please make sure to sign this test and bring it back to class tomorrow! In addition, today your child received their mid-module unit 2 math assessment. We took this assessment back at the start of December, however I wanted students to take it home to show you how they were progressing before our final test. Please have your child make corrections on this test. This will be another great tool for studying!
If your child scored below an 80%, and you would like for them to retake their science test I will be at the school at 8:00 am on Wednesday morning for retakes. Please let me know ahead of time if you plan on sending your child early.
Listed below in this email you will find some of the curriculum we will be covering this week. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
Reading- Folktales, folktale structure (story plot and morals), and verb tenses
Writing- Developing personal narratives
Science- Engineering buildings to withstand natural disasters
Social Studies- How Michigan become a state, social studies review, and social studies test on Wednesday.
Math- Estimating differences using subtraction, math study guide, and math test on Thursday.
Spelling- No spelling this week due to testing!
Leader in Me- In Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind, we determine our personal priorities. In
Habit 3: Put First Things First, we learn to put our priorities first. “Quadrant 2
Living” is a key concept of Habit 3. The Time Matrix® tool helps us understand how
we use our time. Once we are aware of how we spend our time, we can manage it
and achieve what matters most to us. Ask
your child, “Which activity is your biggest time-waster?”
