Your children will start the Spring portion of the NWEA/MAP testing beginning in May.
The first and second graders will begin the week of 5/2, while the 2-8th graders will complete testing the weeks of 5/9-5/13 and 5/16-5/20.
Grades 2-8 will complete a Language, Math, and Reading test.
Grades K-1 will complete a Math and Reading test.
I encourage all students to be practicing for these tests using www.KhanAcademy.com. This website provides true grade level content so you can help your student re-learn material that was not taught, retained/forgotten, or that they need a little extra help on.
These problems walk the student through with hints, and if they still can't get the correct answer/process this website gives them a variety of tools for the student to learn the content. There are videos, notes, and much more!
Grades 4-8 already have accounts through either my teaching portal (4-6) or through their Bethlehem email account.
Good Luck to all of our Bethlehem Students on the MAP tests!!!!

2-5th grade homework announcement!
The second through fifth grade will be starting their presentations for the class next Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday!!
It took us a little longer than expected to finish researching, typing, and formatting our animal research projects. The students have a typed copy of their finished reports that they will be presenting.
These projects have been researched, typed, and formatted completely by your child!!
For homework between now and Tuesday, students need to practice their presentation. I encouraged them to practice in front of the mirror, siblings, parents/guardians, family pets etc.!
Very proud of them, way to go!!

Khan Academy
Happy Tuesday!
6-8th grade students will begin and continue to work through Khan Academy. If you are not familiar with this educational website, I highly recommend you ask your children to log into their accounts using gmail, and show you around!
This website is geared toward state standards in every core subject, as well as elective classes. Your child can click the grade they are on and work toward their mission of completing grade level questions and standards.
This program offers hints if they get stuck, and even videos with mini lessons to virtually walk them through the problem if they have not learned the material, or did not retain the information previously.
The website is, www.khanacademy.org

2nd/3rd- Saving and inserting images into word documents!
Happy Wednesday!!!!!
The animal research projects are coming along very well!!
The 2nd/3rd grade class has learned a lot about formatting and researching the past few weeks!! As of today, they have all successfully typed (using accurate hand placement) their entire research project. We have been working hard the last week to learn how to save images from a search engine (Kiddle) and insert them into our word document.
Today they took a quiz and they all did very well on it! They had to open the internet browser, use the address bar to navigate to www.kiddle.co, use the search bar to find their favorite food, save images of their favorite foods, and write me a 3 sentence description of why they chose that food as well as insert the images they saved.
We had a 100% success rate on this quiz and it was very cool to see the progress they have made!
If you get a few free minutes, I would encourage you to ask your child to show you how to search for something using a search engine and save pictures, they can even show you how to insert them into their document!
They have come a long way with formatting, and navigating through the computer systems this year!
Great Job 2nd/3rd grade :)
