Week 29 Update and Schedule

It was fun to finish our novel and see the Novel Projects the students did.  I'm so enjoying this group of students and I'm always so proud of their hard work.

This next unit is Test Prep for the SAGE.  Remind your student to practice the SAGE at home and bring in their blue sheet with your signature so I can give them credit in class. Also, at home SAGE practice can count for daily reading. I just attended a 2-day training about helping students prepare for the SAGE test.  I am really excited to introduce the students to these strategies in fun ways to help them be successful on this test.  We'll also be reviewing skills we've learned this school year.

Testing Dates have changed--please make sure your student is in school on these days:
April 1-4: SAGE Writing Test  *  April 15-16: SAGE Reading Test

I'm seeing an unusual amount of fines, please encourage your student to turn in their library books and pay any fines.  Also, if your student misses a day, it's really important that they talk to me before or after school to get their missing work.  I'm looking forward to continuing to see students achieve.  Thank you for your support--please contact me by calling the school (652-4742) or emailing me at rachel.robins@washk12.org.
