Today wrapped up our second round of benchmark testing. I'm proud of our kids! They really took their time and tried their best! The results may be less than what they hoped for, but they're being assessed on 4th grade curriculum. We are almost one nine weeks in & have a lot more to learn & time to show awesome academic growth!
Journals were graded & returned today to allow for 3 extra days to finish next weeks required 5. I thought with pumpkin carving & last minute Halloween preparations, a few extra days would help!
It's been enjoyable reading the weekly journals! A few reminders:
* each journal entry must be at least 1 paragraph, which is at least 5 sentences!
* mark which journal you want graded on using the rubric. If you fail to choose one, I will grade the last journal due for the week.
* handwriting is getting sloppy & sometimes hard to read. Take your time!! If I can't read it, how can it earn points??
AR points are due on November 6th! I am elated to be able to say 77% of the class has already earned their required 10 points & have exceeded that amount!! Use this long weekend to catch up on your AR points, or to be proactive so you're ready to take a test on November 7th for the 2nd nine weeks!!!
Enjoy your 3 day weekend!!
