Just a reminder that it's "Back to School Night - 2009/10" at 7:00!

Math: This morning we took a formative assessment to determine how effective my instruction has been and if the instruction is translating to each student. I typically evaluate these on the day they're given and attempt to pull groups to address common areas of concern. In addition, on many Wednesdays throughout the year we will take a similarly lengthed formative and assign it for review as homework. This is expected to be reviewed with a parent.

Language Arts: We're beginning reading groups this weekend so you can be looking for RRJs (reading response journals) to be coming home shortly with an activity to complete. However, there will typically be one RRJ entry a week since we are seeking depth in our comprehension in 3rd grade.

Writing: They began webbing specific ideas/memories and feelings about a specific time in their school career thus far...

Science: We are officially rolling with fingerprinting so be careful what you touch at home!
