Computers Crash - No ISTEP Today
Well, after reviewing like CRAZY, we weren't able to take our session one in math. Our corporation had issues everywhere with computers crashing - even throughout the state. We will be testing tomorrow at 2:05 ...yuck.... to do our first math session.
Could you give your child a sample fraction with unlike denominators question tonight to see how they do? Also, we reviewed converting metric measurements such as 200 centimeters = __meters. There are excellent review problems in ixl for this. Please review M6 and W4 if you see a problem. Again, any review on ixl is so perfect because they explain any missed answers and give repeated questions to practice.
Tonight, please look over your child's first paragraph for their fifth grade memory book. Each paragraph will be graded before rewriting in their hardcover white bare books. Each entry will also include an illustration. I just need a rough sketch of what that will look like. After checking, please sign saying you okay the work. Everyone should have a brainstormed list of suggestions. a few students still need to turn in social studies lesson 5 sheet. I called the names today, so they know who they are. I am also missing several Bud, Not Buddy 12-13 sheets. I have two that haven't turned in their president research pamphlet.
MIDTERMS went home today. We will be doing more spelling review sheets in class. We will also hit science and health after ISTEP so that we have a grade before the end of the period.
I need to receive a note saying that you were able to create some kind of outfit for our human timeline coming the last week of school. I got an e-mail today saying that fieldday will be on the last Friday, so I will need to move our timeline to Thursday morning from 8:30-11:00. Hopefully, that will give us enough time to get everyone through. The Awards Program is in the afternnon.
If you are going to St. Louis and have a background check, would you mind letting me know? I have a couple of students who I am needing to group with someone who has the background check because of the new ruling. (You will have final say if you are okay with adding any student to your group.)

ISTEP MATH MONDAY
Please get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast, and come ready to show-off all you've mastered for our first ISTEP math test. We will be taking the test at 11:45. Tomorrow will be part 2 of the ISTEP math. I can't brag enough on how well ixl.com can help your child to master difficult skills. If at all possible, review as much as you can over the weekend for any weak areas you find. You will be earning overtime bucks for working on the weekend if you bring in a paper signed by your trustworthy parents showing what NEW skills were conquered over the weekend.
