Reading
Each week our class will have a "story of the week". Students will be preparing to take a comprehension assessment on Wednesdays. You can expect your child's reading book to come home on Tuesday nights during the school year for them to re-read the material and prepare for the test on Wednesday. SO be on the lookout! :) On Fridays the students will receive another reading assessment. This assessment is known as a "Cold Read" assessment. A "cold read" is text that is unfamiliar to the student. These weekly assessments will provide much information on the reading comprehension needs of your child. By collecting data on your child I will make necessary adjustments to curriculum and provide the tools necessary for your child to gain continued success in reading. In addition, all students will be progress monitored either bi-monthly, monthly, or as needed so that you and I can see your child's progress with reading fluency as well as reading comprehension during the school year.

STEMSCOPES (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics online Science Curriculum Program)

Learning Targets: Adaptations. How plants and animals adapt to climate change. We will finalize the unit this week, and end with an assessment on Thursday.
HOMEWORK: Since a large portion of the Stemscopes Science program is an online, group activity, it will be very rare that homework will be given in science.
