A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade
Each year, I leave Wax Museum night in a state of both exhaustion and euphoria. It always amazes me what the students are able to do. I hope each student was proud of his or her hard work because I sure was proud of them.
On Wednesday, Preston and Kinard visited with the students and gave them registration packets. Preston forms are due Friday, February 23rd. Kinard forms are due Friday, March 2nd. The fifth grade teachers are happy to collect the forms to send to the middle schools, but they must be returned before the due date. If you have questions, please contact the middle school directly.
After Spring Break, we will begin CMAS testing. Students in fifth grade take ELA (Reading and Writing), Math, and Science. Students will be taking ...
the ELA test - Tues., March 27th - Thurs., March 29th,
the Math test - Tues., April 3rd - Fri., April 6th, and
he Science test - Tues., April 10th & Wed., April 11th.
We test in the mornings from 10:15 to 12:40. If at all possible, please avoid appoints on these days which might require your child to be absent. It is also important that students not leave during the test, as students must finish the test the day they start. Unfortunately, this is a lot of testing that we as teachers a required to administer. As a team we do our best to keep as much instruction time intact without overwhelming the students.
You can find all the newsletters for the year and other fun pictures including a video of Sammy and Melody’s “Who Knew” at our classroom blog http://khalesclass.blogspot.com/.
