Progress Reports went out on Friday. I also included the Conduct Rubric which is used by the school. Once again, remind your child to always put forth their best effort. The progress reports must be signed and returned by Friday, September 24.
ITBS testing begins on Monday. It will continue through Thursday. It is important that your child be at school for the test. Please make sure they get plenty of rest and eat a good breakfast. Once again just tell your child to do their best. Healthy snacks will be provided for the children during the testing. Thank you to the parents who are providing the snacks.
This week the spelling test will include 2 challenge words. The challenge words will be ones that your child should know how to spell. Those 2 words are included in the overall spelling grade. We will start our Ecosystem Unit this week. Your children have done great on their timed math tests. I am cutting the time this week to one and a half minutes. Please be working on math facts whose sum goes up to 10. We will be starting those timed tests in another week. A reminder about vocabulary words: please work on them every night. When we are doing workbook pages sometimes your child must read the sentences independently or figure out the missing words. If they do not know the words the pages will be very difficult for them. Your child is also required to read a short story on the board which uses vocabulary words. They are then required to draw a picture that goes with the story. This will also be difficult if they do not know their words. In a couple of weeks they will have a vocabulary test. So keep working on those vocabulary words.
The catalog sale ends this week. Hopefully you have been selling.
