Please give your child a BIG hug tonight! Everyone is working so hard! Whether we are in ISTEP or in the classroom, everyone has had amazing focus this week. Please encourage them to keep it up!! We will continue with ISTEP testing Wednesday and Thursday of the this week and Monday through Wednesday of next week. The following week we will continue testing for NWEA.
The good news is the testing sessions are short and spread out, so we have some breaks between. Working on our Wander Indiana Research and our YHBA books has been a great way to relax between the sessions.
Speaking of the Young Hoosier Book Award books, our library celebration is not too far away. Any student that has met their goal of 3 chapter books and 6 picture books from the YHBA list will participate in the celebration field trip on Friday, May 15. We will begin with a walk to the park and some play time. After eating lunch in the park we will head to the library for a tour and game of YHBA Jeopardy. Invitations to the celebration will be coming home soon with those students who have met their goals. You can see how your child is progressing on their goal by looking at the Reading Counts report in tonight's Feedback and Data Binder. Green highlights are for the chapter books and orange highlights are for the picture books.
In tonight's Feedback and Data Binder you will also find data from the recent Math and Literacy assessments. Please work with your child to review all the data in the binder and complete the reflection page for tonight's homework.
Also coming home tonight is the permission slip for the Indiana State Museum Field trip. We are looking for chaperons. There is a fee for the trip for chaperons also. Chaperons will be on a first paid basis. Please look over the slip and send it back as soon as possible. Let me know if you have any questions.
