WHEW! We're through the first week of MEAP testing. The kids did wonderfully well, but they look a bit fatigued. We'll get back to a normal Thursday tomorrow.

Homework tonight:

1. A bit of something different.
Read your 20 minutes, but test yourself. I want a signed note in your homework planner where you record how many WORDS YOU'RE READING PER MINUTE. Here's how I want you to do it:

Read for 5 minutes. (I would suggest setting a timer, either from the stove, or if you have your own fine, or have Mom or Dad keep track for you, you need to focus on the reading, not the timing)

Count the number of words you were able to get through in that 5 minute period. (This may not be perfectly totaled, but try to get close.

Then of course you will divide that total by 5 (you certainly should use a calculator, remember the number of words gets punched in first, then divide by 5)

Record your result in your homework planner, have Mom or Dad sign it, then return it tomorrow.

Make sure you then finish the rest of your 20 minutes.

That's all folks,

Mr. K

Tuesday, October 12

Greetings one and all,

A great first day of MEAPing, but it took basically all morning and the kids are probably mentally tired. Again, get a great nights sleep and a good breakfast. Tomorrow will be a very similar day. We're back to some normal action on Thursday.

*only homework is to read for 20 minutes tonight.

*AR goals have been extended to November 24

Take care all,

Mr. K

Monday, October 11

Greetings one and all,

Great tests in both Social Studies and Math.

Thanks everyone,

Mr. K

Monday, September 27

Greetings one and all,

I'm going to apologize right away. Tomorrow the 5th graders have two tests, both in Social Studies and in Math. This is totally Mr. K's fault. Mrs. Miller has been planning her test for a week, I on the other hand thought we still had two lessons in Math before the Unit Test, I was wrong. So because of my blunder, two test tomorrow.

So here is the homework:

1. Social Studies Test (the kids have a study guide you could help them study with if you wished)

2. Math Test: Unit 1 (the kids have their homework booklets which have practice problems they could go over, also I sent home a double sided page for them to get more practice if they needed it, it's not mandatory to do)

3. PE tomorrow so bring your shoes.

*The only bonus is that since we have a Math test tomorrow, no homework in Math tomorrow night. Next math homework will come on Wednesday night.

Sorry again,

Sincerely,

Mr. K
