Good Evening!
This week has been a busy one. With the four day week, I feel like I hardly blinked and here we are at the weekend again. This week we explored the life of a cowboy on the cattle trails, talked about how character's change in response to the challenges they face, and worked on multiplication and division in math. Next week we will be completing the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). This test is used to help determine class placement and provide a grade level equivalent for your student's progress in their educational career. During this time, we ask that students arrive at school early in between 7:15-7:30. This allows students to eat breakfast, go to the restroom, and prepare for testing in the classroom. Students will not be able to enter the classroom after testing has begun. Students that arrive after testing has begun will make up the tests during the next make up window. In Math, we will continue to work on multiplication and division problem solving. Students will review decimal place value, rounding, and comparing numbers with decimals. In Reading, students will examine the next two chapters of Esperanza Rising. Students will learn how character's responses to challenges can help us identify the theme of the story. In Social Studies, student will take a quiz Monday over the Cattle Trails and the Transcontinental Railroad. Accurately complete the Think and Review Questions from Trails and Rails and turn it in by Tuesday for an extra 5 points on your test. In Science, students will continue studying landforms, constructive and destructive forces, and human interventions and their impact on the environment. Many students did not perform well on our science quiz this week, please make sure students spend 10-15 minutes studying every night. Progress Reports Today, we distributed progress reports. Please sign and return them by Wednesday, September 11. I'll send a progress update in about two weeks. Spelling List #2 Sight words, suffix -ent, and academic vocabulary 1. ashamed 2. indeed 3.
