Team Urban,
This Monday there is no school for students, however, it is Parent Teacher Conference Day. Please make sure to attend during your time slot that you signed up for on Parent Square. If you are unable to attend please let me know. As of now, I only have one parent asking for a zoom link for Monday. If you need a Zoom link, please let me know asap.
As report card season approaches, please keep in mind that ILCS assesses on end of the year mastery. This means that we are working towards mastery by the end of third grade. Many kiddos will not meet end of the year mastery in the first trimester and could very well be a 2 in areas, as they work towards that end of year mastery of a 3. Keep in mind when looking at assessment logs, the % score is composed of several standards assessed in that test to come up with a total score. For example, a Reading Test is made up of several reading, writing, or language standards. Within those standards being assessed, there can be a standard or so that a student is not showing mastery even though 80% is achieved on a single test.

A recent reading test pictured above shows five students and their final scores to the left. The fraction listed under each common core standard show the correct answers over the total number of problems of that standard in the test. As you can see, most have a standard they have yet to show mastery on in some standards. This is just one snapshot of what I am looking at over multiple assessments for the trimester. AR for the 2nd trimester has begun. Goals are set based on the reading time each day and their most recent STAR reading test score. I will be setting goals with students on Tuesday. This week: Homework Due Daily: Math fact practice Due on Friday: Reading will now be 25 minutes of reading each night-(4 entries) in Reading Log ELA: Begin reading The Athabascans Math: Review Topic 5 and Topic 5 test on Thursday.
