We used the computers today to take a practice test in the area of Reading. This test is administered throughout the year to help me plan how to be a better teacher for your child. As we discussed at conferences, it does not count as a grade, but it helps me to gauge progress in the areas of comprehension, phonics, literary forms, etc. Our state tests will be administered the first week of March. We want all students to do their very best.
No spelling test this week, but please prepare for next week since the word list is rather difficult. Please continue to read for Book-it due on February 28. Optional Six Flags Reading Club would be returned to your child's homeroom teacher by Wednesday, February 19.
We will not have a Tuesday reading story next week. We are going to use the next two weeks to cover skills that were weak in the above mentioned computer test, and we are going to practice writing "Extended Response" answers to story questions. Students will be keeping an "ISAT Test Prep" folder at school, and they will bring home their papers to show you when we have reviewed sufficiently.
