Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break!
This is our last week before MAP testing begins so we will be working on more and more testing strategies to get your students prepared for the big day.
This week we will still be working on Spelling, Math, and Writing.
Spelling- The students have been introduced with their new words after all taking their spelling tests before spring break.
Math- We are still working on probability and will be taking our multiple choice quiz and open response quiz Wednesday and Thursday this week.
Writing- We are starting to focus on fiction writing.
As for the rest of the time in the classroom, Mrs. Feldt and I are continuing to work in our small groups to focus on Math and Reading MAP prep.
The students should be coming home with their blue Math MAP prep books this week as they are reviewing the strategies used for figuring out each problem, showing their work, and PQPA when needed. Also, you will see the students coming home with reading packets where they will read stories and answer a few questions about the story. These are very helpful tools we give the students to help prepare them for what they will be seeing on the MAP test. Handwriting, punctuation, underlining important details in the story, and PQPA are very important during the reading portion so please be on a look out for each of these while your students are working on these homework assignments.
Dates to remember:
Thursday March 29- Conferences 3:30-7:30.
Friday March 30- Half day, dismissal at 11:50 a.m. and report cards will be sent home.
April 3-5- Reading MAP
