The students continued to work on their projects and most are getting to the next step and getting ready to present what they have found out about the impacts of festivals on a community. We are excited to see what they come up with. Some of the groups are moving a long faster than others but we are all working on the skill of collaboration and getting along with different people. This is quite a skill to learn and we work on it daily.
In math for the next few weeks we are working on multiplication and division of larger numbers. This is some thing that students were introduced to last year but is a skill they really need to know how to tackle this year. We will work on this all year! Students who do not have their facts memorized will be bringing home flash cards to work on those facts that are hard for them. Please help them with this at home.
Keep your students reading at home nightly and help them remember to complete their Achieve 3000 each week. We don't want to send them to Catch up Cafe for not completing this. After four Catch up Cafe's they get a detention per our school policy. We don't want this to happen.
This week we will be taking the ACT Aspire test on Tuesday-Friday. This is a test that is replacing the old Acuity Test and will help us prepare our students for the new ISTEP in the Spring. This is new to all of us so we are not sure what to expect. Our weekly homework sheet may be different if we run into problems with our time schedule. Thanks for being flexible.
Have a great week!
