Lots and Lots of Assessments!

and lots and lots of computer activities! Working on clock games!

Destination Success was a huge SUCCESS today! The kids really enjoyed the different activities that we have loaded for them. The headphones are an added plus!

There are many math, reading, and science activities for our students to work on.

This school year has started a little different than those in years past. This school year we have new assessments required by the district and the State! A lot of assessments in fact. To date, we have taken Math and Science Benchmark tests, Music, Art, and PE pretests, FAIR testing, Mytests in Reading and Science, 2 district writing prompts, 1 Math formative, 2 Science formatives, a bunch of reading selection tests and a couple of stray quizzes here and there! And this is just in the first 33 days of school! We have a lot of information about our students and we are working to make sure they are getting what they need! We do this through many activities in the classroom. We also have a great opportunity for our students at home (as well as in the classroom) with Destination Success. Students finally have the opportunity to go on and work on skills in an exciting environment.

Once you are in, feel free to click around and work on different items within the program. We will start working in FCAT explorer soon!

Of course, we are still teaching.. and working in small groups with our students, but this is a wonderful resource for them to access at home, the library, or where ever they have Internet access!

Remember: Reading Selection Tests, Vocabulary, and Spelling Tests are now on Mondays! These are open book tests, so be sure to review your story over the weekend to keep it FRESH!

Next week we will start our energy unit in Science! There will be some great activities to come, so make sure you are using respectful classroom behavior and attitudes at all times!
