First Math Test (Assessment)

Within each module of the EngageNY math program there are 2 assessments. One is the "Mid-Module Assessment" and the second is the "End of Module Assessment". There will be two tests, or assessments, for each module we complete.

The students will be taking the Mid-Module Assessment for Module 1 on Thursday, September 18th. Since it is our first assessment, we will be doing a lot of review in class, and students will receive a study guide to help them prepare.

The assessment has been added to our Calendar, and students are aware of the test date.

Music
By Katie


As you can see we have a new music teacher... MRS. HENDERSON! This is just my opinion but I think she is great! Personally, I like it when we have to clap the beat, and the hello song. Some people like the line up song or copying her hand motions. I think this will be a great school year with Mrs. Henderson and a brand new start. 

"I love her," Chloe says, "She is really creative." 

"I think she's funny," Ashley told me.

"Hi," says Kai.

The First Week of School
By Camille

The first week of school was probably great for everyone. Everybody saw their friends again, got used to their teachers, sat with each other, and also had some laughs during recess. School started for one reason and one reason only... so the teachers can jam up your head again and fill it up with everything you lost over summer! Anyway, everyone should be excited for the school year to start. Everyone should start and end the day with a good attitude. Happy first week of school everyone. Good luck this year!
