Welcome Back!
I don’t know about you, but I have very high hopes for a better NEW year. I hope that Covid, masks, normalcy, all that wonderful stuff can improve with this year. As for our class, they are doing GREAT. They keep our class clean, everyone does their best to keep their masks on when they need to, and washing/sanitizing their hands. Learning and Growing too, I am so proud of the kids and how hard they have been facing this challenge and the many more that they will have in their lives.
On that note, we are going to start our MIddle of Year testing. This means, Math Diagnostic, Reading Diagnostic, Dibels aka Acadiance, Daze aka Maze. The students have been given a goal to shoot for and I know everyone will do their best. If you are an E learner, please make sure to make a time to take the Dibels test with Mrs. Goldsberry. All other learners will be done in class time.
Daze/Maze will be given on Tuesday at 1:15 pm. E learners will need to be on their google meet and ready with their codes. I will email that today after school. Everyone will take it at this time together. It is only a 3 minute test. But one that will help me to know where they are at with vocabulary and comprehension. (it is the one with the OWL. to help your student know)
As for what we will be learning this week:
MATH: Multiplying Fractions: I have added a short song to help parents remember this standard.
