Tomorrow, I will send home progress reports and benchmark scores from out latest language arts benchmarks. I wrote the benchmark scores on the progress reports to consolidate all the information. Please sign and return the progress reports. Once I've seen that you have gotten a chance to look over them, I will send them back home for you to keep. I figured this way we would save on copies.
Overall, the scores this time around are lower than our last set of scores. Please keep in mind that students took the writing assessment in the middle of our crazy ice week, the reading assessment right after Super Bowl, and that they are just all around tired. I felt like these scores reflected effort more than what they actually know. I cannot send home copies of the benchmark, but I would be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have.
Don't forget about...
-Tomorrow night is Spirit Night at Bellini's
-Field trip permission slips
-Picture money is due on Monday
-Friday night is Movie Night at school
It's been a long week and it's only Wednesday. I think those ice days spoiled us!
