Ms. Conrad's TAG Classes
March Update
3rd Grade STAAR Ready Practice Tests
Both Math and Language Arts Students have been proactive and done a self-analysis of their tests which will be in this Thursday's TAG folder. These reports show what types of errors were made. Although there were very few, we will continue to fine-tune our skills so we will do even better on the real thing!

4th Grade STAAR Ready Practice Test

Tuesday 4/21 STAAR 3rd & 4th Mathematics
Wednesday 4/22 STAAR 3rd & 4th Reading
Excellence in Reading Program
Mrs. Stork and I attended a TAG Teacher training where a representative from Mensa for Kids spoke and she shared this program. There are different reading lists based on grade levels. Students read the books listed and receive a certificate and a t-shirt. Not only will they be sharpeing their saws, but they will be reading some outstanding literature! I may even challenge our fellow teachers at Blackland to join us! Students can get credit for up to 10 previously read books, but please understand it may take more than a year to complete some of the lists. I am leaving this up to parents to monitor and send in the paperwork if interested, but please let me know when you child finishes a list. It is worth celebrating!
4th Writing Camp This Week-No TAG
Since students will be focusing on writing all week, we will have no Reading TAG classes.

Students should also work on their ISP Passion Project. The next Step is due April 9. I have reminded them that they can continue to email if they have any questions on anything we are working on and I will be happy to help.
