❖ Federal and/or State funded programs ❖ Who benefits? – students who are below standard on grade level assessments based on an All School Rank Order ❖ Assessment include: School-wide AIMSWEB (Reading), an individual
❖ Flexible Leveled Reading Groups are formed and served outside of Core instruction ❖ Intentional accelerated instruction for 4-5 days a week, 30-40 minutes, frequent progress monitoring ❖ Goal is to get them working at benchmark and back in the classroom as soon as possible
❖Writer’s Workshop Model (Target Skills come from that day’s reading)
❖Writing Forms
Spelling is mainly taught through word analysis using the following skills: ❖ Affixes (prefixes and suffixes) ❖ Greek and Latin Roots ❖ Shades of Meaning ❖ Word Endings (like -ing) ❖ Cognates (Spanish and French) ❖ Homographs/Homonyms ❖ Compound Words Students that need extra spelling practice will be assigned word lists to study at home. Study strategies will be shared with students.
❖Eight Practices
❖Crosscutting Concepts ❖Core Ideas
❖ 5th grade - Common Core State Standards
Mathematical Practices 1)Persevere in solving problems. 2)Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3)Construct arguments and critique reasoning of others. 4)Model with mathematics. 5)Use tools strategically 6)Attend to precision. 7)Look for structure. 8)Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
❖ Research shows, all of our minds can grow ❖ Please encourage your student ❖ Praise problem solving and effort, not just correct answers
❖ Mental math ❖ Verbal explanation (communication) ❖ Multiple ways to solve a problem
❖ Math on Call ❖ Mathematical Mindsets ❖ Making Number Talks Matter ❖ What’s Math Got to Do with It?
❖ Check the blog ❖ Check your child’s planner and take-home folder ❖ Ask your child and then email the teacher of the questioned subject for confirmation. ❖ The preferred method for changing dismissal plans is sending a note to school (teacher or office). If you email, be sure to include rachel.craft@camas.wednet.edu before noon if possible.
❖ Contact Mr. VanCleave if you are interested in helping with the end of the year festivities for fifth graders.
❖ Growing up videos - preview night and presentations will be in the spring (must view to opt your child out) ❖ Field Trips - Steigerwald in the spring. Walking to Lacamas to do water monitoring throughout the year.
