HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT

Your child brought home a note with a paper to fill out and return on Monday, December 12th.  We would like to have all students participate and share their family traditions.  Thank you!  

In the next few weeks, we will learn about families and family traditions.  We would like for your child to think of a favorite tradition that your family has.  This may include vacations, family reunions, religious practices or celebrations of any kind.  Please have your child draw a picture (or glue a photo that you may have) on the attached page and complete the sentence.  Your child will have an opportunity to share his/her work with the class.  We will be making a class book with the papers that are returned.  Have fun and be creative!  

IT’S ALMOST TIME for the SECOND i-READY DIAGNOSTIC...

The second i-Ready diagnostic will be given to students in grades K-8 during the first two weeks of December. i-Ready is an online diagnostic that helps your child’s teacher determine their strengths and areas for growth, personalize their learning, and monitor their progress throughout the school year. Results from the diagnostic allows us to meet your child where they are and provides us with data to inform instruction in reading and mathematics. 

Here are a few things you can do to help support your student:

Make sure they get a good night’s rest before taking the online assessment.

Talk to your student about why the assessment is important. You can say things like:

The test will help you find out what you know, what you are ready to learn, and it will help you get “just the right” lessons.

Try your best, and do not rush, but don’t spend too much time on a question that you do not know how to answer.

Remember, questions on the test change based on your answers to earlier questions. You will see some questions you don’t know. That is okay! Just try your best.

Let them know you’re excited to hear about how it goes and to ask them about their experience.

We’re thrilled to partner with you in your student’s learning!
