Today, students will begin their first draft in our opinion writing unit. Students must be prepared, as we have been collecting evidence and learning the different components of opinion writing during the past few days. They will be writing on the subject "Should I afford chocolate milk in schools?" This will be a test qualification. Students will be asked to write their introduction (hook and thesis) and the first paragraph of the body (2 pieces of evidence) this week.
On Tuesday we will have Math and Reading Fastbridge exams. This is a universal screener that students took at the beginning of the year. Through this second evaluation, we hope to see growth among your children; Encourage them to do the best they can! :) Students will also have their Tiger Time pre / post test to multiply and divide decimals.
On Wednesday, students will receive their new Tiger Time groups. Students will also have an ELA test. This was originally planned for last week, but we moved it to next week to make sure our students fully understood the standards.
There will be quizzes for math 5.1 and 6.1 this Thursday. 5.1 will have a quiz on the multiplication and division of decimals, while 6.1 will have a quiz on the interpretation of algebraic expressions. Students can study by reviewing their Notes and workbooks. Students can also practice and see the following links:

One final note is that students seem to be forgetting the consequences of technology and discussions a few weeks ago. Last week, at different times of the day, Mrs. Sargent, Mrs. Oliver and I caught some students playing during classroom instruction or trying to create a point of power when they should be reading in class. These children not only go against the student code of conduct (technology abuse), but they are also missing important class instruction. The students will receive a warning. If the behavior continues, he will receive a minor reference. When time permits, talk with your child about the importance of using technology.
Thanks for your support!!
