On Friday, students took a math assessment that focused on rounding and subtraction and addition. I'll spend instructional time during intervention/enrichment reviewing mistakes and supporting students who are still struggling with these concepts. Once I feel students have mastered the skill, I'll administer another test to see if there has been growth. This grade would replace your student's score if it is higher. During our math time, we'll move on to our next unit on 2-D shapes. Students need to be able to speak and write down the attributes of various shapes. Vocabulary includes polygons, quadrilaterals, parallelograms, congruent lines, perpendicular lines, right angles, trapezoid, rhombus, rectangle, and square.
In reading, we'll look closely at main ideas with details from the text, using knowledge of prefixes and suffixes to determine the meanings of words, and writing answers using topic sentences and factual statements from their informational reading. An assessment will be given in reading on Tuesday. Science has been fun as we've learned about the human body. Last week, we learned more about the skin (it's the largest organ and is about 22 square feet!). Students should now be able to share what's in our skin after reading, watching a video from Brainpop and actually making a model of the skin. Skin parts include epidermis, dermis, sweat glands, nerves, pores, and hair follicles. The purposes of the skin include preventing germs from entering the body and protecting the body's bones and organs. In your Monday folders, you will find interims and assessments. Please go over the assessments with your child. I have stapled a sample reading response so that you can see what is expected to achieve a 3 or above. You will also see your student's score for the BOG (Beginning of Grade) test. Please go through all papers on Monday and have your student return the folder on Tuesday. Friendly Reminder: Friday is an Early Release Day. Thank you for all you do! Amy Flowers
