And the Testing Continues

I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  I just wanted to update you on a couple of things this week. 

Testing

Testing continues this week.  This week students will be taking the Iowa Assessment.  We will be testing all week long.  The students and I will be extremely excited to see Friday afternoon.  They are working hard and trying their best.  Please encourage them to keep up the hard work. I am so proud of them.

Graded Papers

Graded papers will come home on Tuesday of this week. Please go over these papers with your child. Many of them have been working extremely hard. 

Accelerated Reader

Each student in class has an Accelerated Reader Goal.  Goals vary from student to student based on reading levels, student interest in reading,  and student progress.  Many students have met their goals several times and I have increased their goals and encouraged them  to continue to read and take AR tests. As of today students should be at 70% of their goals. Congratulations to the following students who are at 70% or higher.

Science Test

Students will take a test on rocks and mineral this week.  The test will probably be on Wednesday or Thursday. 

Math

This week in math, we will begin division. We will also take our first timed test this week. Students will start their sundaes by receiving their sundae dish and will begin to collect scoops.  Please have your child practice their multiplication facts.
