Day 30!

We are rapidly moving through the first nine weeks. Today, we started I-Ready Math diagnostic testing. We should be done with this by Wednesday at the latest.

Thursday students will take the Spanish proficiency test. This should be completed in one day.

Graded (English) papers are coming home today. Math seems to be a big area of concern for us- specifically 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication and division (3 digit by 2 digit). This is our last week with these benchmarks, so please continue to practice at home. Students that have still not mastered these concepts will continue to practice through RTI.

We have divided back up into 2 groups of 14. We will operate A and B days- (A days Mrs. Rowan's homeroom will have English instruction in Reading and Social Studies and Math and Science will be in Spanish; B days Mrs. Ryan's homeroom will have English instruction in Reading and Social Studies and Math and Science in Spanish.)

If you are unsure, or did not receive your student's FCAT scores from last year, please check with me and I can get those to you. The state standard for proficiency is a Level 3.

We will continue to work hard in the classroom. Please make sure your student is reading nightly, completing homework and working on skills that were not mastered previously.

We have 3 resources this week, so the week is sure to fly!!!

Make sure that your student has logged at least 7 books in their planner. The 9th week is fast approaching, and we want everyone to be able to participate in our celebration.

Planners are a great way to communicate between home and school- make sure you check your student's planner each night!
