Assessment:
We are nearing the end of the year. With the end of the year comes end-of-year assessments. We will take the iReady assessment for both Reading and Math. In addition we will take an end-of-year math test based on the units we taught throughout the year.
We are scheduled to take these assessments the week of May 16th.
Leader In Me:
This month’s Leader In Me Habit 7 is: Sharpen the Saw. This week we focused on ways to sharpen our body. We talked about why movement/exercise is important along with what foods fuel our body!
Students are bringing home a Balance is Best sheet this week. Talk as a family about different ways to sharpen your saw: body, mind, and heat and soul. Each night see if your family can try one “activity” together and mark it off. Keep it visible to remember to do it. The sheet does not have to be returned. It is just a fun way to talk about this month’s habit as a family.
Writing:
We are on our last part of our Insect Unit. It has been so much fun. In this last bend students are writing about one of the two insects they researched in a new structure: how-to, graphic novel, literary nonfiction, question and answer book, or ABC book. Students are having so much fun being creative about the ways they can teach in a new structure. This bend is meant to be playful!!! Ask your student what structure they are writing in.
