IMPORTANT! We need your feedback!
Misty Hofer has created a Google Form to get Teacher feedback and input regarding the Math Curriculum and Pacing. I know there have been conversations during Teacher Teams in which teachers would like to see some changes in the pacing of units. Please fill out this form if you would like to make those suggestions!
RESPONSES WILL BE SENT DIRECTLY TO MISTY!
Math Feedback Form on Pacing/Curriculum
5th Grade Science NGSS
Our preliminary data for the Summative NGSS test for grade 5 looks outstanding!
I am so proud of our 5th-grade teachers and their hard work, which has made our students critical thinkers, problem solvers, and future-ready! Your dedication to STEM instruction in your classroom is evident and admirable.
The number of students proficient or above has gone from 30% last year to about 49/50% proficient. This is a 63 percent growth index rate!
In addition, thank you to all K-5 classroom teachers; you should be very proud as the NGSS Grade 5 Summative covers DCI, SEP, and CCs covered in grades k-5. It truly does take a village!
Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and support for STEM instruction at Tracey. YOU all make us shine!
