So, last week was testing, testing, testing! I was going crazy with all that sitting around! Instruction was primarily review and we had downtime whenever we could to read and dance around. Good thing we are done with testing until STAAR. I will use the data collected to guide my instruction and review.... so I promise, it won't all be for nothing.
This week in math we will begin area and perimeter; part one of our geometry and measurement unit. The last major unit in math before STAAR! wow!
This week in science we will do some investigations to illustrate the difference between weathering and erosion.
We also will use time this week to complete some straggling assignments that got put aside when the benchmark review began. Those assignments will be due Friday.
Also, we are finishing up our portfolios and adding a few science assignments that we completed recently. I am also attempting to print benchmark data for you that tells you more than just the grade, but also list strong vs weak objectives in each subject area. The system has not been cooperating, but I put in a help ticket with the tech support desk so hopefully I can get those printed by Wednesday. If not, I will just include the grades so you can see all of that by Wednesday. Thank you for your patience.
