Let's hope the warmer weather is here to stay. As much as I enjoy skiing, I am ready for some warmth without having to wear wool socks and 4 layers. Be sure to check out the list of events on the home page. There are many things going on this Spring.
With all the snow days, we have lost some valuable instructional time. We are working hard to make up and catch up from that lost time. This week brings 3 assessments to our fourth graders. They will need to write an information essay using research from Social Studies. I will be looking at their ability to apply all the skills they have learned this year about expository writing such as elaborating with a variety of evidence, using transition words, and writing like an expert.
They will also take the DRP in reading this week. This is an assessment of how well a reader can make meaning from what they are reading. by filling in missing words in nonfiction passages.
On Friday, they will have a math test on angles. They will have to measure and draw angles as well as identifying right, obtuse, and acute angles.
