Six Weeks Test

I've graded the six weeks test and I must say I am impressed!  Students worked very hard today! 

Most students seem to have a good grasp on the material we have covered so far.  Not all have mastered it, but that is fine!  We have time!

I would like to ask parents to keep in mind when scores come home that there were only 8 questions on this test specifically geared to see if students could apply the skills we have learned.  So if they come home with a 63, 75, or 88 consider that great!  88 means they missed one, 75 they missed two, and 63 they missed three... if this is the case for your student that means that those particular skills questions are what we will be continuing to work super hard on to improve on.  In reading we spiral our skills all year adding new ones but continuously reviewing the previous ones as well so students will be retested on anything they struggle with in the next six weeks test.  I will be constantly assessing them in class during guided reading groups and practice passages though watching for growth.

I hope that you are seeing the progress and enthusiasm for reading at home that I am seeing at school!  It's an exciting year!

Remember we have a vocabulary quiz and an early release tomorrow!


Thanks for all you do!
