Upcoming special event: Read across America Day Celebration, 2:00-2:45 Wednesday 3/2
Thanks to everyone who made time to complete the Notice and Wonder activity with their child. The questions you asked about the different math pictures were very probing and showed real engagement with mathematical ideas.
This next week we are launching some new writing activities and beginning to talk about the state assessments. We have not yet received any information about when we will be taking the tests. I do not spend too much time practicing for the tests because I know the regular work we do in class will prepare the students to show what they know when they take the tests. However I do like to give them some experience navigating the online assessments and in doing the particular kinds of thinking that standardized tests require.
If you would like some information about the tests and the standards please check out the following links.
