Day of testing...

It seemed like today was a day of testing! We began by taking the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) and/or Scholastic Math Inventory (SMI) on the computers. I'm not so much concerned about where they came out, or their score as much as I'd like to see growth. Most of us were only able to complete one of the assessments so we will finish on Monday. In The Beaded Moccasins, Mary was captured by Indians! Oh no! They are heading west from Pennsylvania and Mary is scared! In Reader's Workshop, we continued our work with the Time For Kids Year in Pictures issue. Next week, they will be creating their own Year In Pictures. After recess, we took our fraction test and some of them are still having difficulty but I think they all understand the basics so we are moving on. I encouraged them to continue to practice with equivalent fractions and comparing/ordering fractions by using MangaHigh, ST Math or LearnZillion. Finally, we finished up with our Ohio Studies Weekly on the American Revolution.
