Social Studies Test

The social studies test today was centered around knowing geographical terms. Students were told to study the vocabulary and understand it.

Those who did study the vocabulary did well on the test. Those who haven't mastered the vocabulary struggled with the test.

Students may use their textbooks to correct their test and re-draw the map for question 15 to raise their grades!

Map Test this week!!!

Please, please, please make sure your child is on time this week. We will be doing MAP testing this week Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Also, make sure they get a good night's sleep and have a healthy breakfast.

Thanks!

Social Studies Test Tomorrow

Students should be very familiar with all the geography terms in Chapter 1, study chapter 1, and also study their student notebooks.

6-Trait Scoring

We had an informative two days scoring the 6 + 1 Traits school-wide assessment. Wednesday I was part of the scoring team that scored 6th - 12th grade, and Thursday I was part of the team that scored 2nd - 5th grade. Nursery - 1st grade will be scored next week.

As soon as I can, I'll get those scores posted and out to you so you can see how your child is starting out the year in writing.

Information for Parents

I'll be absent Wednesday and Thursday as I am involved in scoring 6 + 1 Traits assessments for grades 2 - 12. Your children are in the hands of a competent substitute, Miss Erica. They will work on an intensive social studies mini-unit with her.

Thanks for your understanding.

Open House

Thanks to those of you who came to the Open House last night. I really enjoyed meeting you. I'm sending a letter home to those of you who couldn't make it. Please read it!

I'm still looking for volunteers:

• To make posters
• Room parents
• To read with students
• To talk about your job or hobby
