Seventeenth Day

Today we blended through short vowel 'i'. We began our "animals" unit. we generated questions for the the Concept/Question Board. We read the first selection on raccoons. We learned that some animals eat the same food as us and that some baby animals get their own food (as opposed to humans who may rely on parents for 18 years or more). Each time we learn a general concept about animals, it would be a good idea if your child knew whether or not the general fact applied to their own specific animal for reporting and testing purposes. Discuss often.

The topic 2 math tests have been graded and returned. They should be in your child's homework folder. A score of 17 was considered passing with a rubric grade of 3. A score of 25 qualified as a rubric 4.This was decided before the tests were graded. There were 26 total points possible. Of the 24 children taking the test in room 11, 1 child scored 26, 1 child scored 24, 1 child scored 22, 3 children scored 21, 4 children scored 20, 4 children scored 19, 4 children scored 18, 3 children scored 17.

For homework, children will complete "making 8" math sheet and the reading/writing short vowel 'a' sheet. Please have your child draw and label with words containing the short 'a' sound.
