for the week of Aug 31
Quarter 1 Week 5
A note from Mrs. Chern…. We have reached mid quarter, which usually means an interim would go home. Currently PowerSchools and MClass have been updating their systems and it has caused a bit of a delay in me being able to do reading assessments and enter grades for subject areas to create reports for you. Please see your child’s D.O.T. notebook. In each section you will find assessments. Anything in the binder with a circle A and number is an assessment item. 3 is consistently efficient at standard, 2 is still working on mastery of that standard, and a 1 means they do not have command of that standard yet. This will give you an idea of what your child’s understanding of the standards that have been taught so far are. I will get the interims and Home Connect letters out to you as soon as each platform is updated and ready for teacher use.
There will be a change in how DOJO and Pawsitive Paws is going to work. I was trying to enter all the positive paws students earn in different places and it has gotten a bit overwhelming. They are just so so so awesome. Sooooo…. DOJO will be for classroom behavior only and can be turned in for class rewards. Pawsitive Paws will be for all other settings at school and will be turned in for items from the school WooHoo Wagon.
Upcoming Week’s Standards…
Reading: Continue reading assessments, comparing fiction and non-fiction texts, fiction and non-fiction retelilng assessment
Writing: Conventions Checklist: How do we make writing easy for others to read? Spacing, proper letter formation

… There is a passage again with two questions. Please remember to practice reading the passage every night to improve fluency. Math consists of two sheets to practice the “Counting Up” strategy we learned. There is an explanation of the strategy with the homework papers for you to review.
