Per state requirements, students are unable to have access to their cell phones or wearable technology at any time during MCA or MTAS testing or during breaks from MCA or MTAS testing. In the event that a student has access to a cell phone or wearable technology during testing, the student’s test is required to be invalidated, even if the student did not use the device. Wearable technology includes but is not limited to smart watches and fitness trackers.
On dates when your student is scheduled to take MCA or MTAS assessments, your student will check in their phone and/or device with me on the morning of testing. I will collect the phone/device, put it in a labeled Ziploc bag and keep it in a locked cupboard until the end of testing for the day, at which time I will return the phone/device to your student.
Please let me know if you have questions!
Hello Families!
I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend. This week we are going to be wrapping up our first trimester. I can’t believe how fast the year is going by! In Language Arts we will be working on a creative story based on the animal research paragraphs we wrote a couple of weeks ago. We will also be working on how to compare and contrast 2 nonfiction articles. In Math we will be reviewing rounding and estimating, adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers with regrouping and strategies to solve multiplication story problems. We will be taking our unit 3 math assessment as well. We will be wrapping up our 3rd chapter in Social Studies too! It will be a busy week but hopefully everyone is up to it!
Just a quick reminder that we will not have school this Friday as it is a grading day. Have a wonderful week!
-Mrs. Huberty
Hello Families!
Just a reminder that Monday Oct. 31 will be a free dress day to celebrate our Fall Celebration day. Students may come to school dressed up as a favorite character, animal, etc. as long as it is appropriate for school and not scary or violent (also nothing with toy weapons). I’m excited to see what everyone does.
This week in Language Arts we will be learning about nonfiction text features and practicing how to use them, where to find them, and why they are useful. We will also be reading a story and learning some vocabulary words from it.
In Math we are going to work some more with In/Out Boxes as well as practicing regrouping and borrowing with multidigit addition and subtraction. We will also review place value and rounding numbers.
In Social Studies we are learning about natural resources and how we use them. We will also continue to review the continents and oceans on Earth. Students are having lots of fun with two songs we have been listening to in order to help us learn the 7 continents and 5 oceans.
Please reach out if you have questions or concerns. Thanks and have a great week!
