We started our Iowa Assessment tests today. Today we took the Vocabulary, Capitalization, Punctuation, and Spelling tests. Make sure your child is getting plenty of rest and eating a good breakfast. Thank you to the parents that sent notes for their kids. That really meant a lot to them. I wish you could have been here to see their smiles as they read the things you had to say to them. Keep encouraging them throughout the week.
Unit 7 in Math as begun. Coming home today you should get a Unit 7 Family Letter. I would advise keeping this to help as questions come up with the homework throughout the unit. This unit will be about multiplication and division. If you could help your child make flash cards or purchase them a set to practice at home that would be very beneficial. The more they practice at home the better they will be.
This week in reading we will not be reading a story or taking a test. We will however be working on some comprehension skills and grammar skills. There will also be a spelling test at the end of the week. Please encourage your child to read each and every night. When they do help them record the minutes they read on their assignment sheets and sign the bottom to verify that they read and did their homework. We currently have only a little over half of the class that brings recorded and verified minutes back each day. Some days it is only about 5 out of our 21 students.
I look forward to getting back into daily blogs as my basketball season has come to a close and I will have a little more time on my hands.
Let's make it a great week for learning!
