Team Urban,
Today (Friday), an assessment log went home with each student. Please take a moment to log into Pearson or AR, look over the scores, discuss areas of challenge and areas of success, sign the log and return it on Tuesday. In third grade, students take a beginning of the year Baseline test for ELA and placement test for Math. Those scores show a low percentage because they are a reflection of what they still have to learn for the remainder of 3rd grade. Students will reassess of the benchmarks at the end of the year to evaluate their learning growth. Please sign and return the Assessment Log on Tuesday with your child.
Homework Each week your child should be reading for a total of at least 80 minutes. The other nightly homework will be math fact practice. Please be on the lookout for a half sheet of paper coming home each night starting on Sept. 13th.
ELA:
- Finish reading The Case of the Gasping Garbage (see below for link)
- Continue discussing how readers understand the characters' motivations and the effects of their actions and how writers write about characters and show the sequence of events in a story.
