HOW is it already Thanksgiving? You all probably hear (or read) me say this almost weekly but I truly wonder sometimes how time goes so fast!
I am so thankful for a group of great students this year. I am so thankful for supportive parents who help their child and me. You all are awesome. Being an educator is not an easy job. But having people who support you and the needs of the students makes a WORLD of difference. Thank you so much for all you do for your kiddos, for the class, and for the school. Math Tests- We did our first online math assessment of the year. Today, a summary sheet of your child's assessment is coming home. It will give the number of questions correct and the number of questions (I highlighted this for quick reference), and the standards they got and the standards they need more practice with- but it will not list the questions and the answers your child chose. The only way to access this is for your child to log in to Pearson. You can use the link under the "Student Link" tab at the top of this blog, The username is their lunch pin and the password is their birthday (041209 format) This test is very challenging and many students had trouble with concepts taught. It covered 7 standards (which is a lot). I will be spending time "reteaching and reassessing" after break. This is one of those units that most students don't get right away. It's hard and it's a foundation for standards that will come in the next few years. Shoe Box for Soldiers- A colorful note came home last week with some information about Shoe Box for Soldiers. On that little sheet of paper are some suggested items to add to our box. Students may bring those in at any time between now and Dec. 15th and help out our soldiers serving our country! Book Orders- Book orders will be coming home Tuesday! If you want to order a book for a gift and don't want your child to know about it, contact me and I will hold your items and arrange a pick up time. Orders can be made online through Scholastic or turned into me by Friday, December 1st. No cash in the orders, please. Upcoming Dates: November 22-24- NO SCHOOL; Thanksgiving Break December 1st: November Tiger Pride. ( I think I may have listed an incorrect date in an earlier blog. Tiger pride will be Dec 1st at 2:30 December 15: Shoe Box for Soldiers Items Due December 21: Half Day/ Winter Party @ 11:45
