Academically Speaking...
Parents,
Thank you for your support of Read Across America Week! The students had a ball reading and exploring where reading can take them!
Please continue to view our class eCLASS pages and parent portal sites for updated grades and classroom information. This is our major form of communication for what is happening pertaining to your child's growth and we always want you to be connected.
With just under three months left of the school year, we want to press upon the need for students to continue working hard to master the AKS curriculum. Please make sure that your child is reading, practicing critical thinking skills and completing their homework. Our teachers are working extremely hard to assure that your child is learning and growing and your support at home is always appreciated. Additionally, our class eCLASS pages are a resource for you to get a glimpse of what is happening in the classrooms. Please continue to reach out to us should you need ideas, support, and resources to support your child's learning.
STEM Certification is on its way!
We were visited by our district team to see our process for getting STEM certified. We will pursue this in the Fall and just need a little more work internally to be prepared. One area we need support in is in mentors for STEM like activities. Are you an engineer, computer programmer, and/or working in a career that manufactures items for daily use? We could use you! Our students need to be in touch with experts in the field of STEM to get advice, modeling, and ideas from on their projects. Please email Mrs. Thompson at crystal_cooper_thompson@gwinnett.k12.ga.us to inform me of your willingness. Let's make Sycamore a place where students are given ample opportunities to soar!
Georgia Milestones-Grades 3-5:
In April, all Georgia students in grades 3-5 will engage in a yearly test that helps schools monitor grade level learning and growth toward state standards. This test this year, will entirely be taken online as opposed to paper and pencil. Students will partake in a test related to language arts, math, science and social studies. We have continued to implement practical strategies with our students all year and will continue to embed practice into the normal curriculum so that it is engaging, rigorous and supportive. This test is a promotion requirement and more information will be offered throughout the school year. Please join us in February during conferences where we will offer four sessions that will give you more information about how this important test works.
