Well, we made it through February! It has been a crazy month but we think Spring is just around the corner. We have been working hard on our latest projects. This week each group did a run through in front of the team and we discussed how we can make each better and what props or scenery is needed. We were so impressed with what the students have so far. We cannot wait for you to all come and see what these students have created themselves. We are looking at the first Thursday after Spring Break as our performance date. We are just waiting on approval for this date. As soon as we know for sure we will let you know.
We are getting geared up for the first round of ISTEP which will begin on Monday, March 10th. This is the applied skills part and the students will be answering questions in Language Arts and Social Studies online but they will have to type their answers. This part is not multiple choice. We have been practicing this with them all year and we hope that they all do their very best on this part of the test. The math portion in on paper and they are to show their work and explain their thinking. This is also something we have been working on and we hope that they are ready to show the people grading their tests that they are ready and know what they need to do. Please help us by making sure your child has a good night sleep and has a good breakfast before the testing days.
We are working on volume and surface area in math and science. In humanities we have been reading a book "Daughters of Liberty" and working on verb tenses. We also are three weeks away from the end of this grading period and students need to make sure they are working on their Riverside Reads.
Have a great week!
