We've got a busy week ahead! On Tuesday, we will be taking the fall OAA reading test. It is a 2 1/2 hour reading comprehension test. Students that score Advanced do not have to take it again in the spring, (when everyone will also take the Math OAA). We have been using test-taking strategies and are calm, but excited to show what we know! I plan on letting Mr. Thornsberry know which students remembered these strategies, and I think he has a little reward planned for them!
Conferences are scheduled for Thursday after school. I need to meet with 1/2 of the class now and the other 1/2 in November. If you did not get a conference form, you are still welcome to come in with your child from 3:30-4:00 and let your child show you their Leadership notebook. Conferences this year are going to be student-led, which means your child will be explaining his/her progress to you using their Leadership notebooks. I will be there to answer any questions that you have. We have been practicing...can't wait to show you our progress!
We are continuing to work on main idea and supporting details. This is such an important concept. We work on it quite a bit. Math has us starting to round numbers, and in science we will be continuing our exploration of life sciences. We will get more in depth in social studies by starting our text, Communities, and learning the continents and oceans.
