Map TestingCISD is conducting the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test. This assessment will help measure growth and skill mastery for learners kindergarten-9th grade. Both in-person and distance TCE 2nd graders will be taking this assessment next week. The assessment will take place on Monday, September 28th, and Tuesday, September 29th first thing in the morning.
Families learning virtually you should have received an email by the end of Friday, September 25th with information regarding the testing days. Please read through this email thoroughly and reach out to your homeroom teacher if you have any questions prior to testing Monday morning.
Face to face families we ask that you make sure your child is on time and has their iPad FULLY charged on Monday and Tuesday. This will help to make sure they are set up for success during their MAP assessment.
Week at a GlanceAs our second graders have become experts within Schoology, we are going to move our week at a glance to be a visual schedule tool. It can still be accessed (linked here) but will no longer be updated weekly with live times for all core content areas. We will continue to use the Schoology calendar for all LIVE times.
What are we learning?
Math: This week learners will determine the value of a collection of coins up to one dollar. They will use the cent symbol, dollar sign, and the decimal point to name the value of a collection of coins.
Language Arts: In Reading Workshop this week we are revisiting Metacognition and strategies that help us be stronger readers. We are reading Those Darn Squirrels! by Adam Rubin and discussing authors' intentions. We will be predicting and retelling to check our comprehension. In Writing Workshop we are reviewing Small Moment writing and working towards our first "published" piece of the year. We will also begin Grammar Talks with a focus on nouns.
Science: This week learners will utilize their knowledge of how different objects combined together can do things they cannot do by themselves. Learners will be given a problem involving physical objects, then design a solution that involves an experiment to test and gather data.
Social Studies: In Social Studies this week we are wrapping up our Historical Figures unit and completing our researching journals and will being our next unit on Government. We will also explore American Indian Heritage Day on Friday.
