I have not been well lately, so forgive the lack of an entry on Friday and the short one today.
We had a pleasant day. Students began work on their Open Court tests, a mini-ordeal which will take up a good portion of the week. In particular, they started work on the writing portion of this test. This is known in LAUSD-speak as the "Performance Assessment" and it has its own line on the report card. Worse still, at least from the students point of view, is that any score under a 3 on this somewhat complex writing prompt will make the district's computer spit out an invitation to attend summer school, a letter which the students would rather not take home. So they worked pretty hard on it....
Speaking of tests, tomorrow is the state Writing Test for fourth graders. Please send them to bed early and to school on time! Because of this, homework will be very light.
Home Studies: (1) Finish the division worksheet. The students already had about 30 minutes to start on this, so most should be close to finished or done. (2) Do "Capacity," Math, pages 428-429. Be sure to read page 428 carefully even though the problems do not begin until the following page.
