While reading my RSS feeds this weekend, I came across these excellent pages. Students and parents may use these page links to review Math skills and Practice reading skills. The story pages address Beginning Readers and the Classics. Thank you, Johnnie.
Each month, Mrs. Odom updates to the current calendar month and provides links to fun activities for the month. We encourage you to go to the page tab at the top of our blog and have your own students visit these sites. If you would like further practice with your students on questions concerning calendar skills, please click and print out the pdf questions. This is a wonderful way to review the difference between “day” and “date”, concepts of day, week, and month, and provide practice locating information on a calendar. Often we assume that students have a mastery knowledge of these basic skills when in fact, they do not. This repetitive review will reinforce learning needed for more difficult math concepts.
Spring break has ended and we all head back to school on Monday. Sorry, but that just had to be said. During these last few days, I have been searching for sites that might be helpful for those last minute brush-ups on Math Skills at the intermediate levels – 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Students and parents are encouraged to visit the links below.
The TAKS Math tests are quickly approaching and the intermediate grade levels are honing their math skills. If you are wondering what you can do to help your child at home, you might want to visit these sites to view some of the tasks our students will be expected to perform. We will continue to work at school and appreciate all that you can do at home as well. No child can be fully educated without teamwork between school and home. Communication, cooperation, and collaboration are key ingredients.
I hope that these sites help. Click on the grade level below:
This Tuesday our fourth graders will have the chance to show off their writing skills to the state of Texas. We know they are up to the TEST! Let’s show our support for their day by following the district and state guidelines set forth.
Please observe that there will be No Visitors allowed on campus this Tuesday and Outside Food may not be brought in on a testing day. This is not just for our fourth graders, but for all of our students on a TAKS testing day. Each intermediate grade level will have a day of their own this year. In fact, they will have a few of them. It is wonderful to live in a community where we all support each other.
Good Luck, Fourth Grade!
I am sure that the answer to that question is, “All the time!” Well just this morning I found a site, a blog actually, that poses questions of wonder. It is called Wonderopolis. I immediately added a widget to the sidebar of our blog so that students could easily access this blog. I will also be adding it to our blogroll, and I hope that you will too.
