Hello everyone Happy Tuesday:

Tomorrow is Late Start- school begins at 9:35!

Today in class the students took the NWEA practice survey for math.  We will take the practice survey for reading tomorrow.  We will take our NWEA tests next week and possibly this Friday.  Next week is the end of the marking period so we will be taking our end of the marking period tests.  Our science test will be on Friday this week along with our spelling test.  A study guide will come home today.  Please practice with your child.  Next week we will take our end of the unit social studies test and math test at the end of the week.  Please make sure your child is here and has good attendance.

Homework tonight:

  1. Study science study guide- Test Friday
  2. Math page PPS 275-276

Today your child is bring home a math test and a math classroom assignment.  Many students did very poorly on the math worksheet- some reasons are because they rushed, didn’t read the directions,  or needed more practice with the skill.  Due to these reasons, I am giving the class an opportunity to redo this assignment.  I will regive the assignment next week.  It is worth 12 points.  I will take the better of the two grades in my grade book.  This means if your child got a zero, and then gets a 12/12 next week, I will put the 12/12 in my grade book and erase the zero.  Please practice double digit addition and subtraction with your child this week so they can improve.  Congrats to those students who got a 12/12 this time.  This is a difficult concept and everyone learns at their own rate- I want to give everyone the chance to be successful.
