Reading Update

  This week we will be taking our Reading Midyear Assessment. This is a test provided to us by the county to see how well children are doing with the curriculum thus far. This is NOT a graded assessment. Instead, it is used for us to determine individual strengths and weaknesses in children and it guides our instruction for the second part of the year. 

Math Update

We are working on linear measurement until Winter Break. We will be using both the US Customary and Metric systems. This is a great unit to practice at home! Your child can measure the length and width of any household object, they can estimate how large something is, and they can also tell you the best unit to use when measuring something. 

Content Update-

Now that students have rotated through every teacher for a unit, we will be giving a cumulative test. You can review VA. Geography, Plants, Force, Motion, and Energy at home.  Look for study materials coming home on Monday.
