I promise not to post EVERYDAY……beginning next week! ;)

On Monday we will begin testing students to determine math and language arts small group placement. Next week will be crazy busy with testing, but I hope to have a ll groups assigned and start with actual curriculum the following week. I am anxious to see where students fall academically and to begin integrating the more challenging curriculum planned for the advanced class. Help your students be prepared by making sure they get to bed on time and come ready to go. With it being our first long week, I hope to have all testing completed by Thursday afternoon so as to prevent testing while their brains are MUSH………we’ll see how it goes! 

Also, I wanted to share a few quick pictures of our math assignment today. The students were asked to measure their desks, round to the nearest foot, and then design a seating chart for our class to use sometime this year. Students measured, counted, and drew their seating charts according to the layout of the classroom. We had some great discussions about usable space and plotting a map. Enjoy the pictures and SEE YOU ON MONDAY!!!!
