Students will be taking their Unit 1 Math Test this Friday, September 23rd. A Unit 1 Study Guide is coming home today as homework. Students are to complete the Study Guide at home and bring it back to school on Thursday. We will check it together on Thursday and I will answer any questions that students have. This will come home on Thursday to review for the test on Friday.
NWEA Testing is starting this week. We will take the Reading NWEA on Tuesday morning and the Math NWEA on Wednesday morning. Please make sure your child arrives to school on time.
Thank you to all of the families that attended Open House last Thursday evening. If you haven’t gotten a chance to sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences starting in November, please contact me and I will let you know what dates and times are still available. Conferences are scheduled for November 10th, 16th, and 17th.
Students should be reading every night to improve their comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and vocabulary. I will soon be sending home a reading log for students to keep track of how many minutes they have read at home each week. Students should also be going onto MyOn and working on improving their Lexile score. The username on MyOn is the student’s id number and their password is their birthdate (MMDDYYYY).
How long should they be logged onto and working on MyOn each night? I didn’t know if there was a specific amount of time or say a set amount of lessons. Thanks!
The fourth grade teachers will be creating a sheet that states how many minutes students should be logging into MyOn each week using time combined in school and at home. For now, my suggestion is at least 30-45 minutes per week on MyOn and at least one hour of independent reading per week at home.
Please put me in for the first available 2 back-to-back conference times on either of the 3 dates. Thank you.
Mrs. Deckert…I sent you a private email with the date and times available for conferences.
