I have added the weekly spelling list to the sidebar. I will also add an upcoming test reminder section to the sidebar. Just remember, tests are not the only thing that I evaluate your child by. I have a lot of informal assessments like in class projects, workboard assignments, shelf work, notebooks, work behaviors, reading fluency checks, running records, and my anecdotal notes. The district grading rubric for tests will be a helpful guide when looking at your child's report card. We have done our best to align our grading rubric with the NYS test grading rubric. Please don't stress too much about tests! They are not the only measure.
The kids and I have talked about what they want to see on the blog. Some suggestions were pictures and links to animal studies, history sites and articles, Presidents, the Solar System, a student of the week, and pictures of the kids working in class. I think that they are ALL GREAT IDEAS! I really want the kids to utilize and visit the blog as much as they can. After all....it IS theirs! I have picture and media releases from everyone for district websites. Since this is a class website and not a district site, I'd like to get additional permission and input from the parents and guardians. I will not post any pictures or information about your child unless I get your permission.
They are all SO EXCITED about this website! It will be a great resource for both the parents and the kids.
