Lately it is feeling like we rarely have a full week of school. I am sure you are feeling the same way and are looking forward to getting back to some consistency. With a snow day to end one week and begin another in addition to President's Day, last week was our first full week in a while. This week we have another three day week. I will be at school Thursday and Friday while the kids are home. I am preparing for report cards. Spring break is just around the corner and after we return we are working more rigorous than ever with many full weeks until the end of the year.
It is difficult for me to teach and the children to study our spelling skill within a three day span. Because we have a three day week this week we will have the same spelling words this week and next week.
Every 3rd grader will be taking the Oregon Statewide Assessment. In class we work diligently to prepare students for this assessment and build excitement and confidence. This is a time to celebrate all of their learning! Next Monday we will begin the reading portion of the assessment. To prepare please complete the reading sample test packet with your child at home and return to school on Wednesday. We are also working on test taking strategies at school. Please contact me anytime if you have questions or concerns. You can download the packet by clicking the picture below.
