Been Away too Long!!!

Hi Everyone,
I have been away for so long! SBAC testing and both of my daughters moving home after college has made me neglectful.  We are done with standardized testing, but I am in the process of assessing each child with the Fountas and Pinnell reading assessment.  These take a couple of days because I sit with each child and they read aloud, then silently, and tell me everything they know about the book.  I assess until I find an instructional level, or for some, an independent level. 

We are in our final units of the year.  There are less than 20 days left.  UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! Where has this year gone?????  The last day of school is June 20th.

Great First Week

We had a great first week of SBAC!!! The kids did really well and tried their best.  We will start testing for math next Tuesday.  No homework next week either.

5th grade has earned their 100th compliment and will watch National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets tomorrow.

SBAC testing will happen over the next two weeks. We will test on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday both weeks.

Project Sweet Talk and Conferences

No homework this week.

Project Sweet Talk is tomorrow!!!! May 3, 2018.  8:45-10:30, stop by anytime you can.
Project Sweet Talk share day is my favorite day of the year.  It really does showcase the hard work the students put into their writing and projects.  This unit gives students the opportunity to show proficiency in all transferable skills: Communication, Problem Solving, Citizenship, and Self-Direction. We will be updating our Personalized Learning Plans tomorrow afternoon to prepare for conferences.
And speaking of conferences.............If you have not yet signed up for a conference, please do so.
