What's Happening this Week?
We are taking the next 2 weeks and just reviewing for the next STAAR tests - we will focus on ALL math and reading strategies, concepts, etc! The Math STAAR is on April 21st, and the Reading STAAR is April 22nd. Our students are ready for these tests, but we want to have multiple opportunities to review what we have learned all year long in order to prepare them to be successful on the tests!
Progress Reports are available this week on HAC
By mid week, the link will be updated to show grades for half way through this 6 weeks!
Learning about finances!
Along with reviewing all skills and strategies learned this year in Math, your child is learning about personal finances, budgeting, etc. Ask them what they remember. Show them how you balance your finances (checkbook, keeping receipts, spreadsheet) - this will help them make the real world connections!
It's Scholastic Book Order Time Again!
Last week, the students all brought home a new scholastic book order form that is due by April 24th. As always, it is NOT mandatory to order books! You may also click this link above to order online using the code: NLXZM
Studying Academic Vocabulary
In both Math and Reading, students will be creating notecards in class with academic vocabulary. They will keep these notecards in a ziplock bag inside their backpacks. They may study them at home - but will also be given time in class to review. This will help the students with the wording of the STAAR questions!
