Homework Club
There will be no homework club this Thursday, April 23rd. I will keep you posted if there are any more changes to the schedule. Thank you
Smarter Balanced Testing Starts Monday, April 27th
Smarter Balanced testing for grades 3-5 will begin next Monday, April 27th and will continue throughout that whole week. Smarter Balanced is the standardized performance measurement for all California schools. Kids will be tested on their knowledge of English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics. We used to use the CST tests for the same purpose. It helps measure student achievement and also school performance (represented by API score). If they would like to review this year's mathematics for the upcoming test, they can review the lessons in their math notebook.
Ms. Russo will discuss this tomorrow with the class and some specific topics they can focus on.
On the day of testing please make sure kids arrive to school on time, eat a good breakfast and go to bed on time.
It will be a light homework week so kids will be most focused on their smarter balanced testing performance.
