Groovy Tuesday

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break.  We are back to work this week and enjoying every second.  We've already accomplished a lot of stuff in the last 2 days.  We will be continuing our work on addition and subtraction of fractions in math for the rest of the term.  Additionally, we are also working writing opinion pieces during ELA.  Students were also given an at-home project that is due on December 17 called the Six Thinking Hats Project.  Please make sure you student received this assignment.

During our Reading block, students are working on a variety of skills including inferencing and point of view.  I am also conducting individual reading conferences with each student to evaluate their progress so far.  Additionally, I will be speaking with students about establishing MAP goals early next week.  We are almost finished presenting our Biography projects.  Students have done an amazing job with their presentations.  I will send home their graded rubrics with their Monday folders, so their will be no confusion about what day the information is coming home.  If you would like to know your child's score before then, please email me and I can send you the rubrics and comments via email.  

Here are a few reminders:

1.  MAP testing - December 10, December 11, December 12 (Next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday)

2.  Tybee Paperwork - Please send this back as soon as you can.
