I'm READY for iReady!

Hi Parents,

We are moving quickly through the 2nd 9 weeks, and mid-year testing is upon us!  Students have already completed their Achieve 3000 Level Set, and many students increased up to 100-200 lexile points!  Way to go students!

This week, we will complete iReady mid-year diagnostic testing.  Please make sure your student is rested and on time to school so they can do their best!

Next week, on Wednesday and Thursday, we will have our second PMA (Progress Monitoring Assessment) that will measure what we have learned in the 2nd 9 Weeks!  Please discuss with your student the importance of doing their best!

We will begin a unit this week on Poetry and Figurative Language.  We will learn the elements of poetry and how to "read" a poem by understanding deeper meanings from the author through the use of figurative language!

 

PLEASE make sure you are reviewing and signing the weekly Comprehension Sheet.  Your student should be:
1.  Annotating questions (Box, Underline, Circle KEY WORDS)
2.  Underlining evidence found in the text.
3.  Showing process of elimination (✓, X, ?)

***WEEKLY COMPREHENSION SHEET counts for the RAH log for that night!!!

Thank you for your support!
