Green Rider Day Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we have a Roughrider coming to visit, so please wear your Rider t-shirt or jersey.  

Everyone should be studying every single day working on our math reviews as well as doing some skill work on IXL math.

If you have any late math assignments,  the agreement was you could work them off by doing 15 minutes of IXL per assignment which would doubly help you with studying. 

Also, check your late work lists, if you have any, as they need to be competed as well.

Full preparation elevates confidence!

Remember:
1) Class tricks of the trade
2) Remember, double check the instructions so you're doing the questions properly.

3) All problems require  you to show the work and put the answer in a sentence.

4)Double check the answers!


RELAX, pace yourself and believe you can achieve!

Our beloved St. Francis School is 50 years old!

Reading

We continue to work hard using/reviewing our reading strategies for next week's RAD Yearend Assessment.

 Math

We learned parts of a double bar graph so please review as the sub will teach how to make one tomorrow.

Remember that I will be gone for the next 2 days so follow your procedures to stay on task as it is a short week with a tight schedule to follow for testing.

All classroom teachers were to give their students a talk last week, which I did on Tues., about following procedures and staying on task for the remainder of the year.  All year we have been emphasizing this as the year of independence.  Students clearly know the expectations but in all situations, we know choice plays a big role in successfully demonstrating an outcome/appropriate behavior.  

As always; choose to follow the MIGHTY 5 Motto: "organization, procedures, work habits, attitude, and desire" to strengthen OR  begin independence in achieving outcomes.


FYI

May 22 - $5 & waterslide permission slip due

Everyone needs to be practicing daily their computation skills for the Yearend Math test.  Decimals and Fractions is a large section on the test so you should use IXL to brush up on your memory of the needed skills. 


Make sure your parents see the email I sent you on the school board free download for Microsoft 2013 if you do not have it on your home computers.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO PLAY!

We had a fast - paced day today with recycling, assembly glitches for Camp Monahan presentation, Math Exam review period, AR, Health/F. Alive puberty group work activity, time to work on late assignments, and played KAHOOT (tech game) as a class!  The KAHOOT game is a blast to play as it reviews material covered in class.  Congratulations to Tanner, Gracelen, Angelina B.B. who were victorious!  The kids really liked immediately seeing where they stood in the review online competition.  No worries everyone, KAHOOT WILL BE BACK!  For the last hour of the day; those who needed more late work time received it while the rest had bonding time with each other to play 4 - square or whatever they chose.

MONDAY IS GEOMETRY TEST 
 
STUDY YOUR GEOMETRY EXAM OUTLINE!
