There is no homework!

Well, except to read for 35 minutes each night (Fri,Sat,Sun) and get a signature for that.

 

This morning we took our STAR test, which gives me an idea of the lexile level of the students.

We then learned a bit about the computer, some windows shortcuts, and about using tabs and such in google chrome.  On Monday we will spend some more time in the computer lab learning about this website and other essential things.

We had some early D.E.A.R. time, and read a bit more of the Mysterious Benedict Society.

We then took some short books, and practiced writing summaries for them, to help us when we are taking AR tests.

We also worked on some reading comprehension passages, and started re-writing a backwards story full of antonyms.

In math we took another assessment, this time focusing on fractions.  I also started administering the Number Knowledge Test to a few students.  These assessments will give me a very solid idea of where students are, and where they need to go to progress in their understanding of numbers, operations, and fractions.

We wrapped up our day with a quick check out at the library, so students should definitely have books to read this weekend!

 

so, tldr;

read for 35 minutes a night, and get a signature for that.

 

 

Enjoy your weekend!
