Test Taking Tuesday

Just before lunch, we logged on to get some test taking practice. It's good to know what's coming, and Illinois Readiness Assessment, formerly known as PARCC, is no walk in the park. Today we tried our hand at Part 2 of the ELA. We will continue to practice in school so that kids can be exposed to the new online structure. Can you access these materials from home? Yes! Scroll back to last Thursday's post to find the link. Your kids know how to do this. Our first day of IRA testing is 3/25.

Today we also....

• worked on some grade 5 Morning Math. We are tackling decimals and volume of irregular shapes.
• worked on our Midwest Q and A
• went to Art
• Read myths, discussed figurative language in small group with Mrs. Ginn, and got familiar with some common Greek and Latin roots.
• did a few Kahoots to have fun while learning about the Solar System, and the Earth, Moon and Sun system.

This evening at home...

• complete the HWP for Go Math 8.2
• complete the  two Princess Penelope pages that we began in small group today.
