Team Urban,

Christmas break is a time for relaxing and being with family.  Just remember to make sure that your student has a few books they are reading over this time to help ensure they make their AR goal for the 2nd trimester.  When we get back from break, before you know it, the AR deadline will be upon us. The deadline for Trimester 2 is Feb. 24th. There are several students who have yet to even take their first AR test for the Trimester 2.  These students are already way behind if they want to make their AR goal for this trimester and be 2/3 of the way to the end of the year walking field trip to White Rabbit.

December 13th-17th

Team Urban,

One more week of school before a well needed Winter Break! December Assessment Logs will be going home this upcoming week. I will be sending them home before Friday so they are signed and returned before we leave for break.

THIS WEEK:

We will be completing the Interim Assessment Blocks (IAB) provided to us by the state for ELA and Math this week. Please understand that these IAB's assessments will be used to reassess any grades from the 1st trimester for mastery. You will see your child's scores on the January Assessment Log. It will also help prepare them for the 2 weeks of state testing in May.

Since IAB's will be given this week we will not have spelling words. Also, please pack extra snacks so your child may snack during assessment time to refuel their brain. YAY!
