May 11th – 15th

5/12 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUBY!!!

WE’VE GOT THIS!!!  I just cannot believe how amazing you all have been throughout this entire experience.  We have 1 week left of our regular schedule and then we will be following our Testing Schedule. I sent out an email with information about your child’s testing time. If you did not receive the email or you have any conflicts with the scheduled testing time, please let me know. Here is our 
WEEKLY LEARNING SCHEDULE   Please do not hesitate if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do to support your child and me throughout this incredibly difficult time!!! You are all AMAZING!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
TESTING NEXT WEEK: May 18th-21st is our end of year Testing Week. In a normal world, 3rd Graders would be taking the RISE test for the first time this year. But, NOTHING about life right now is normal so we will be using the i-Ready program to gather end-of-year data. Please discuss the importance of concentration, effort, and not rushing with your child. It is important for students to show a true picture of their level of learning. As much as we want to help our children with things that are hard, please DO NOT HELP them with this test. The software is adaptive, meaning that questions that are asked are dependent on the answers entered for previous questions. Helping your child answer questions they do not know the answer to on their own places them at a developmentally inappropriate place in the program.  Click here to view the testing schedule.
