Unit 1 Math Test

I have graded and recorded the scores for unit 1 math test in the grade book. A part of the home work for this evening will be to correct all mistakes made on the test. If your child finishes all the corrections on the test, half credit for the questions missed will be added back to the final test score. For example: a child receives a score of 32 out of 36 on the test. If he corrects his mistakes and returns the corrections with the test, he will receive two of the points back for a score of 34 out of 36. Thus changing his final grade of 89% to 94%.
Please return the test along with the corrections by 10-6-09 to receive credit.

Homework for 10-1-09

Tonight's homework is to complete home link 2.2 and to study for the reading and spelling test. The children have been instructed to bring home their hard covered readers. I encourage you to read the story with your child and go over the main highlights.
Tomorrow's reading test will follow the same format as the previous tests; however there will be five short answer questions that pertain to the story added to the test as well. The students have answered other questions with short answers for the stories in class before in preparation for the short answer portion of the test. I will go over the questions and discuss them with the students before the test.
I also think it would be beneficial to give a mock spelling test at home to prepare for the test on Friday.
I would also like to mention that book reports are due on Friday as well.
