Dear Parents,
Last week we finished our SAGE tests. I am so proud of
everyone! Almost everyone increased their scores from last year! Your student
should know exactly how they did, so please ask them! Our class percentages of
passing students increased this year. Our Language Arts and Math percentages
increased by over 10%! That is so awesome! Be sure to congratulate your student
on working so hard on the tests!
Here is what we are doing in class this week:
Reading/Writing: This week we will be finishing our DRAs. We
will also continue practicing our plays. We will be performing our plays on Tuesday, May 23rd at 10:00
in the gym. Please come and see all the hard work we have put forth! Remember,
we wrote these plays ourselves! Our homework is the last spelling list of the
year #30 with a final review of prefixes and suffixes. Students should still be
spending 20 minutes studying their words this week. They should also be reading
20 minutes a night and filling out their reading logs. This is the last week of
reading logs as well.
Math: This week we will spend some of math and target time
practicing our dance for the dance festival. Then we will create our own math
board games. When we are finished with the games, we will play each other’s
games. This will be the last week of math homework too. If students want to
practice at home for the dance festival, here are some links to videos they can
use to practice.
