Highlights:
· CRCT is over
· We’re still working until the end
· Progress Reports go home today
· Permission Forms linked below (Bowling, Better World Books)
Finally made it through the CRCT! The kids seem confident and I hope they all gave their best effort. We should have results by May 16.
Unfortunately for them, school is not over now. We’ll still keep working hard. We’ll still work on Reading and finish up our “group books” soon. Math, we’ll continue to work on our 5th grade skills and I’ll introduce some 6th grade skills also. We’ll only test on the 5th grade skills though. (Every Friday still.)
In Social Studies and Science, I’m having them make instructional videos for a standard from our year. I’ve given them hard copies of the instructions and should have them on our website tomorrow. After those, we’ll work on 6th grade preview work.
Spelling will continue as usual.
Today, Progress Reports go home. Hopefully, everyone is checking online periodically so there are no surprises. Some still have work missing. I’ll take the work still (with a point penalty unless it was a digital issue and not a laziness issue). I’ve been trying to round it up from them for a while and encourage responsibility. It may take a nudge from the parents now. I know they’re checking out more and more the closer we get to June, but we’re still at work. Please sign the progress report and send back in tomorrow.
Several kids said they lost the permission slips (or blamed you guys), so click: Bowling Permission Form.
And there was confusion about the Better World Books form that went home. Better World Books will have a presentation Friday. They are filming and taking pictures for later promotional material. Any child present needs a signed release form. If they need one, click: Better World Books Form.
Thanks,
Shane Brazile
