Fluency
Tomorrow is the first day of the MCAS 2.0 math assessment. We have been busy reviewing and building our confidence and test taking strategies. I was very impressed with how hard students worked during the ELA test. Please continue to support your child at home by keeping things relaxed and restful this week. Our homework this week will be to continue reading for 20 minutes each night. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Because of Mr. Terupt
Beginning next week, we will be starting a whole-class book club utilizing the book Because of Mr. Terupt. This book will help us to synthesize all of the reading strategies we have learned this year and will also help us to become even more independent and responsible readers as we prepare to move onto middle school. Students will be bringing this book and their reader's notebook home to read for their 20 minutes at times.
If there are any families looking to support us here at school, we are still short 6 copies. The book costs $8.00 if any family would like to donate money towards the purchase of these books. I will be putting an order in on Amazon on Thursday.
Time Capsule
The end of the year is fast approaching and so is our Time Capsule Closing Ceremony! This ceremony will take place at 9:00 AM on the last day of school and is our way of saying goodbye to elementary school and looking forward to new adventures in middle school. Earlier this year I sent home a flyer explaining the time capsule and suggested items that students could save and collect throughout the year. I am sending this same flyer home again today. Please encourage your child to begin putting items aside.
