2nd 9 wks./Progress Reports

Hey there,

Things are moving swiftly along EXCEPT for Engrade. There are still some issues with speed and accuracy. No worries. Progress reports will be given out next week.

Today in the computer lab we took the End of the Quarter Summative Assessment. Your child will share their score with you. I am in the process of trying to input to Engrade but no luck. Hopefully, you can see the grade from "The Shutout" by now???

I would like for you to keep encouraging your child. I know some have gotten comfortable with being 'successful' but remind them as I have that hard work goes along with success!

I appreciate all that you do and keep up the good work! Yes, I'm speaking to "My Parents"!!!

Enjoy this weekend,
Ms. Kimbrough

Engrade

Engrade is still under the weather......

Let's hope it gets better very soon!

Let's stay on track!!!

Hello,

The 1st 9 wks. are over!! Yea! Just a few reminders, please continue to log your reading logs! Stay on top of homework as well as daily assignment using your agenda! Kudos to all of you who did very well this 9 wks. but please keep working hard and continue to grow and learn! To those who did not do as well as expected continue to stay focused and work just a little harder and study more!

We will start our non-fiction unit this 9 wks.! We will have a pre-assessment to determine where we are and where we need to go! This will not count as a grade as I will only use for determining strengths and weaknesses.

Writier's workshop will become more familar to our classroom as well as writing!

Keep up the good work!!!

Ms. Kimbrough

Pre/Post Assessment, Any Improvement???

Hello,

Today, I will give the post-assessment to our pre-assessment!!

Please have a discussion with your child and see if any improvement was made??

I hope there will be "MUCH" improvement!

Thanks for all you do!

Ms. Kimbrough

Happy Testing!!

This nine weeks has flown by.........
We will test for the first part of the week and then begin our next section of non-fiction in our textbook!
I hope that we have the rituals and routines of Julia Landon under our belts now!
I look for better understanding in my classroom!
Engrade still is under the weather. There have been many parents trying to contact them but no one has heard back from them. Rest assured, engrade on my end is fine and I also have a hard copy of ALL grades so no worries!!!

I'm very happy right now as the Jags just defeated the Denver Broncos!! Go Jags!!

Make sure you use the valuable resources available to you and your child. The resources are phschool.com and FCAT Explorer and Compass Odyssey!

The End is near.........

Wow, we are approaching the end of our 1st 9 wks. as a sixth grader???!! How exciting!!! How do you feel? Are you smarter? Older? (Smiling)

I want to let you know when the end is near so are EXAMS!! I have asked all students to write down in their planners the 13th and 14th for ELA assessments!

We will have a post-assessment in accordance with the pre-assessment to determine growth and need. This grade for the post assessment will not be recorded or entered on engrade.

Resources available for preparing for next week is to review study guides, voc. terms and literary analysis assignments. Students also should utilize phschool.com as a valuable resource tool as well as Compass Odyssey and FCAT explorer! Good Luck!

Happy Day!
