Well, it has been an eventful weekend! I hope that you and your loved ones were safe during Hurricane Matthew! Since we had no school on Monday, we WILL have school Oct. 31st. Happy Halloween...
Just a few reminders: Oct. 11: Family Academy Night at 6 pm. Oct. 12: Picture Day!! Oct. 14: Field Trip Money Due!! Oct. 18: Readers are Leaders Night! Please come join us at 6 pm. October 20: McTeachers night from 5-8 pm. Oct. 21: Early Release and Fall Festival! Oct. 28: End of Quarter 1 I also wanted to update you on some of the events that have been going on in our classroom. We just finished a unit on decimals in math and are moving onto multiplication of multi-digit numbers. Please use the resources on the math page to help your child review decimals. We still need to work on that skill so that we can be ready for the EOG's. We are deep into our estuary research and gearing up to go on our field trip. Our class needs at least one more chaperone, so if you are able to do that, please email me! ([email protected]). In ELA, we are learning about cause and effect and beginning to jump into reading groups. I am so excited to begin our book study! The end of the quarter is fast approaching. I would recommend that you encourage your child to continue to work on multiplication fact fluency and reading comprehension. If you need any resources, I am more than happy to provide them! Please enjoy some pictures from our last week! Have a safe, joyful, and cozy week! -Mrs. Massengill

Hello parents! This year is marching on so quickly. We are into my favorite time of year, Fall!!
As we passed the halfway mark of the Quarter 1, I wanted to fill you in on some of the grades you saw on the Progress Report. Thank you to all of you who signed it and turned it in so promptly! This year is rigorous and difficult academically. We intentionally do that to help prepare our students for the transition into Middle School and to push them to do their absolute best. Every week we take a reading comprehension assessment that we call Read, Relax, Respond. We will do these every week to track the students' growth throughout the year. We choose passages that will challenge the students to read carefully, make inferences, and explain their thinking. This is great practice for the EOG's! These assessments are not meant to be easy to pass. This is not to trip students up, but to show them what they are capable of learning this year! On the Report, if there were low grades, it is most likely those assessments that many students were receiving low grades on. When looking at the Report, I encourage you to look at the final grades and remember that we have a whole year in front of us! These grades only reflect a few assessment and projects. I am fully confident that every single student in our class will grow so much this year! The children that are in our class are hardworking, dedicated, and talented students. By partnering with you, I know that this year will be a great one! Happy Fall everyone! If you have any questions, please email me or comment on this post. |
