January 2017

Welcome Back!!  Hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Winter Break!

Dear Third grade families, we had a short month filled with learning activities.  We spent the first week after winter break learning about Martin Luther King Jr. and his contribution to our country. We spoke about the qualities a good citizen should have and how good citizenship influences our school environment. 

 Third grade had a month of testing. Students took the BSA and iReady diagnostic. This assessments monitors students’ progress. We started to administer the B.A.S assessment to determine students’ growth in reading both in English and Spanish and we closed the month with literacy week.

Testing Schedule:
Jan. 20: BSA Math Part 1
Jan. 24: BSA Math Part 2
Jan. 30: BSA ELA  Part 1
Jan. 31: BSA ELA  Part 2

Next month: Field Trip on 2/1/17 to Jungle Island.
