One More Week of Testing!
Thanks so much for making sure our students were ready for the CAASPP testing last week. It was amazing to watch how focused our students were during the week of testing. Both Mrs. Kaneshina and I cannot wait to see how much growth they have made this year according to the CAASPP testing results. This week we have another intense week of CAASPP testing, students will be completing their performance tasks for both math and language arts. They will also have an additional day of testing on Friday to complete the science portion of the test. Again, continue to make sure your child is getting enough sleep and has something to eat in the morning, we appreciate your support!
In Mrs. Daley's class students are reading the book Little Women to understand multiple perspectives about The Civil War. This has given the students an opportunity to read out loud with a partner and on their own in class. We will also be examining The Civil War in social studies after testing.
In Mrs. Kaneshina's class, students will be designing a self propelled car! Check in with your student to see where they are at with this project. This is an assignment that takes lots of time to perfect and shouldn't be done in one sitting. Much of this assignment will be done in class, but students will need to bring in supplies to make their car.
We are still learning and working here in the "I-Pod"!
