Your child has been taking home a "Math Fact Study Log" sheet every Monday. I have typically been sending the sheet every Monday. However, I will NOT send the facts this week. While your child should be practicing, I am not sending the sheet due to our "Spring Break" weekend. I will send the sheet again NEXT MONDAY. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks!
Book Clubs are in full force. Hopefully your child showed you the information sheets or explained how Book Clubs are organized. Please remember to check that your child is completing his or her Book Club assignments. BOOK CLUB READING IS TO TAKE PLACE AT HOME. YOUR CHILD IS TO READ THE AMOUNT OF READING THE GROUP DECIDED ON AT HOME. Whatever your child is assigned on Friday, will be discussed on Monday. Whatever your child is assigned on Monday, will be discussed on Friday. Your child should have plenty of time to complete his or her reading for the next time the Book Club meets. THIS IS HOMEWORK TO BE COMPLETED AT HOME. One change for Book Clubs this week is that the reading assigned for tonight, needs to be completed by THURSDAY, APRIL 17TH (due to the 3 day weekend). Thursday's assignment will need to be completed by MONDAY, APRIL 21ST. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks!
We have only finished the Iowa Tests a couple of weeks ago, and it is time to start talking about the MAPS, or MISIC tests. Later next week we are planning on taking the spring MAPS tests. We are taking the first test next Tuesday, one on Wednesday, and the last one on Friday. Please see that your child is getting a good night’s rest and having breakfast at home OR at school, so he/she is ready for the tests next week. Also, like the Iowa Testing, please assure your child that these tests are important and it is important that he/she tries his/her best on the tests. Your child is also aware of his/her score from the MAPS tests in the fall and has set goals of where he/she would like to score in the spring. I will send home a copy of your child's goal sheet on NEXT MONDAY so you can discuss the importance of the tests with your child. On his/her goal sheet, you will notice the average score for the spring, so you are aware of the "average score" for 3rd graders. Please contact me with any questions.
Later this week, I will be sending your child's Unit 6 assessment in math. Please look over the test with your child and discuss the test with him/her. Look over the questions that were missed and ask your child to solve the missed questions. Please sign the sheet attached to the test to indicate that you have looked over the test and discussed the missed problems. Finally, please have your child return the sheet to me. THIS IS HOMEWORK! Some of the students are receiving a review packet. Your child IS EXPECTED to complete the packet at home with help from you. Your child does NOT need to return the packet, but your child DOES need to complete it. If you would like for your child to turn it into me, I would be more than willing to check it over and let your child know how he/she did. If you have any questions when the tests go home today, please contact me. Thank you!
Lastly, there is no school on Friday, April 18th, due to "Spring Break." Enjoy!
Mrs. McCarville
