Weekly Update: May 4-8

Wow!  Camp Kanuga is such an amazing trip!  I had so much fun with my sweet girl, but I've missed my school kiddos!

Reading Testing:

It is officially time for End of Year Testing!  I can't wait for these kiddos to show how much they've grown over this past school year.  I am so proud of each and every one of them!  I couldn't have asked for a better group of kiddos!

The state no longer permits students to be tested by their regular classroom teacher.  My students will be tested by another 1st grade teacher, and I will be testing a different 1st grade classroom.  The teacher assessing them is the same teacher who assessed them at the beginning and the middle of the year.

I know they will do great! :)

Math Testing:

We will also begin our math assessments this week.  I will be giving these assessments in a small group and I will only administer a few tasks at a time.  They are going to knock it out of the ballpark!

Upcoming Events:

May 4-22:  Reading and Math End-of-Year Testing

May 6th: I will be out half a day (afternoon) for Project-Based Learning training.

May 11-14th:  I will be attending NCCAT with our Blended Learning team!  This time will be used for research and planning as our school becomes a School of Blended Learning next year!

May 19th:  Student-Led Conferencing

May 20th:  K-1 Field Day

May 22nd-June 10th:  End-of-Grade Testing begins in grades 3-5.  Our school will be on lock down for most of the morning to allow these students the best testing environment possible.  Our lunch time and recess schedule could possibly change during this last month of school (one a daily basis) because of testing.
