Now that 4th and 5th grade have already been hard at work PARCC testing, it's time for 6th grade! 6th graders will be testing Tuesday-Friday this week, most of the morning. Please make sure your child is at school on time, as we start testing right away in the morning. Getting plenty of rest and a healthy breakfast helps as well!
Because of PARCC testing, our schedules are changing drastically. Spelling will be put on hold, as will Math, ELA, and Science instruction. Students will still have PE, just in the afternoon instead of the morning, and band will be taking place as normal. We will also be working on Social Studies (Ancient Rome) and the Science EXPO in the afternoons, in addition to some extra recess time. On a lighter note, we found a fun, new way to review for PARCC! Today in math, we worked on some practice PARCC problems in teams using Lock box! Students had to solve problems to get codes for a variety of locks in order to open all of the boxes. Overall, the students seemed to have a good time! I am hoping to work another one in soon, especially since we know how all of the locks work now. Upcoming dates:
