Interims NEXT WEEK

Next week Monday-Friday scholars will be taking Interim assessments from 8:40-10:00. PLEASE make sure that they are at school on time and have a had a great breakfast. If thety eat breakfast at school, please make sure that they arrive at school early enough to eat in the cafeteria and arrive in class on time to start the day.

We know that our bright scholars will SHINE next week and show us all of the great things that they have learned this quarter.

As a school, we use data collected from interims to move forward with our teaching straegies. It is SO important that scholars do their very best because we make some of the following decisions based on the data we collect:

- make decisions to move forward with material scholars have mastered

- make decisions to go back and re-cover material where scholars showed evidence of misconceptions

- create small groups for independent and group work

- recommend scholars for tutorial

- target skills to work on individually with scholars

- many more important academic decisions

To help your scholar prepare, ask they what they have been doing in school. Look at their work that comes home in their WEDNESDAY folders. Quiz them on some of the material they did incorrectly and encourage them by pointing out work on assignments where they excelled!

Also, we will be having discussions in class about good test taking strategies. PLEASE review the images below and talk to your scholar about what good test takers do!

Monday: ELA Part 1-8:40-10:00

Tuesday: ELA Part 2-8:40-10:10 (Extended Constructed Response)
