Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 4-20-15

Dear Parents,

Testing this week. The students will be taking their second round of state tests later this week and early next. The schedule is as follows: 

  • Wednesday (Social Studies)
  • Thursday (ELA)
  • Friday (Math Part 1)
  • Monday (Math Part 2)

We appreciate making sure your child is well rested and nourished on those days so they can come in ready to do their best on these tests.


Reading: Due to the interruptions of testing this week, we will not have an ELA sheet.  This means no spelling list or reading log.  Of course, students are still expected to read!


AWAKE t-shirts.  This Wednesday we will have a school-wide spirit day.  Students are asked to wear their white AWAKE t-shirt that was given to them towards the beginning of the school year.

Reminders:
  • Wednesday - AWAKE t-shirts worn for spirit day
HOMEWORK

READING
  • AR goal by Friday is 37%

MATH:
Students will complete the first 14 questions of the EOY (End of Year) PARCC Practice test (the first page of handout).  Students should record their answer on the worksheet that was sent home today.  

The questions are posted online here:


Then click Grade 4 under Math EOY on left (see image)




Tomorrow's homework will be to complete #15-#24 so I told students they are allowed to work ahead if they would like.  The last page of questions will be extra credit.

SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES:
None.
