This year is winding down! We will be doing a variety of final assessments to measure the year's growth. We started Benchmarks today, we will be doing WRAP assessment, and the 2nd graders will participate in IREAD-2. It is important that the students do their personal best on these assessments, as the results will be used to inform the administration and their teachers for next year It is always great to see how much the students have grown over the year, and I am sure we will have a lot of success to celebrate!

Hello parents,
We are finished with ISTEP. I did not assign homework this week due to ISTEP. Please remember that the Wax museum is this Thursday. They should have their speech memorized and their costume or props prepared. The museum times are 9:30-10:30 and 11:45-12:30. I hope you are able to come by!

We started Literature Circles today. The kids were really excited to use the ipads for reading, highlighting, and making notes. Tomorrow we will have our first group discussions.
Remember, the biography packet is due Wednesday. They had some time today for research, and the rest is to be done at home.
Here are this week's spelling words: (Thanks Dylan for reminding me to post these :) )
2nd- last, never, us, left, end
3rd- living, black, eat, short, United States
Challenge- atmosphere, biodegradable, sustainability, ecological footprint.

Hello parents,
We have some exciting things going on in our class this fourth quarter. I want to take this chance to talk about two of them. I also have a volunteer opportunity. If you are interested, read the first paragraph about Literature Circles.
We will be doing Literature Circles beginning next week. There will be four groups, each reading a different novel in the genre "Mystery/Adventure." All of the reading will be done on ibooks with the school's ipads. (How fortunate we are to have this technology available to us!) After completing the assigned reading, the groups will participate in structured discussions. They will each be responsible for contributing to the discussion. One person will share the unfamiliar vocabulary, one will share personal connections, one will be responsible for asking the questions, one will analyze the characters, and one will make predictions. The roles will change with each discussion. This is where I am looking for help. I would like to have extra adults in the room to sit with the groups and help facilitate the discussions. We will be doing the reading and preparation on Mondays and Thursdays, and the discussions will take place on Tuesdays and Fridays. It will all take place in the mornings, probably from 8:30-9:30 If you are interested, please email me. This will be going on for approximately 4-5 weeks. You can be involved as little or as much as you wish and are able.
I hope you all got the information about the Wax Museum. If you haven't already done so, help your child choose an important person to research. Someone famous, American, possibly a Hoosier, someone they don't already know a ton about, someone who made a contribution to society in some way- just a few guidelines. Check out biography.com for help. Once your person is chosen, be researching and completing the packet that was sent home. Remind them to keep track of all websites and books on the references page. The completed packet is due this Wednesday. They will have an opportunity to do some research in class Monday afternoon. The rest is to be done at home.
Thanks for all your support!!!

Hello parents,
I have been updating grades, however, they won't be completely finished until tomorrow, so ready for your viewing this weekend.
Everyone should have a conference time scheduled for Wednesday. If you don't know your time, you can call the office. If there is a conflict with your time, please email me and we can change it.
We are reading Ramona Quimby, Age 8 as a class to learn how to do literature circles. After spring break we will be doing literature circles.
Remember IREAD is on Monday for 3rd graders. This is a mandatory test from the state. If your child does not take the test, they will have to participate in remediation and retake the test in the summer. So, please make sure they are in school on Monday and get enough sleep and a healthy breakfast! Also, just like ISTEP, you may bring in a healthy snack.

Hello parents,
If you receive an email tonight from scholastic, it is about a writing contest the kids are entering. If you wish, you can give them permission through the email and then create a password for them. Have them write down your email and the password you create in their planner. (This is not the password to your email account, just one you create for this website.) If they do not have permission, they will still write the stories, they just won't be entered in the contest and they won't get to use the storybook tool. Thanks!
Here are this week's spelling words:
2nd- every, found, between, name
3rd- upon, family, turn, move, later
Challenge- conserve, interstate, executive, legislative, judicial

Hello parents,
The projects went terrific!! I was so pleased with the kids and all the effort they put into it. Thank you so much for your help at home. Also, I was praying that the technology would go smoothly, and for the most part it did. We ran out of time and 7 people will be going on Monday.
Also, 2nd graders- Mrs. Norman wanted me to remind you about the retreat on Sunday.
Have a great weekend!!
-Mrs. Elliot
