A note from Mrs. Chern…. Believe it or not we are about to start the last week of the
1st quarter. This week I will do comprehension assessments and math assessments.
I will let you know when they are in your child’s D.O.T. book for review. Thank you to
all who returned your interim cover sheet. PowerSchools is still working on the math
section. We are hopeful that will be up and running for report cards. Always check the
D.O.T. for assessments to see how your child is doing. I have told them never to be afraid to not know how to do something and that assessments help me to know what
my next steps for teaching them will be. I constantly tell them it is okay to make a
mistake or not know how. It is not okay not to try. I will reteach as necessary. But it is
their job to pay attention, work hard, engage in instruction and be accountable for
completing work so they can become stronger students. Mrs. Chern is NEVER upset
if we haven’t figured out something yet academically or behaviorally. We will work
together to fix it.

Upcoming Week’s Standards…

Reading: Comprehension assessments

Writing: Publishing

Spelling: Unit 9

Math:  Missing Addends with word problems, Math assessments solving word problems using
multiple strategies

Science: Balancing objects and final Performance Task

… There is a passage again with two questions. Please remember to practice
reading the passage every night to improve fluency. Please look at the second page for math
1st before you do the 1st page. They got stapled in the wrong order. This is really hard for the
kids at times so read each sentence to a problem one at a time. Ask your child to explain how to
play “BET LINES” while they do this homework. .
