Dear Parents and Students,
Due to some scheduling issues and some miscommunication, 6th grade reading
teachers need to give the quarterly(trimesterly) assessment for reading this
coming week.
I apologize for the late notice, but I was contending to have a later date
and was unfortunately not able to delay the test.
The good news is this: our students should be ready. When you see the list of
skills/content being covered, I think you'll agree that students have
improved markedly in these areas. That said, if students have the ability to
brush up on these skills over the weekend, that would certainly reinforce
what we've been doing in the classroom.
Schedule of Assessments:
Monday 11/23: D, E, and C blocks
Tuesday 11/24: A Block
Skills Assessed:
† Using context to determine the meaning of words
† Indentifying Main Idea
† Paraphrasing
† Identify stated AND implied information
† Text Features
† Text Patterns
† Conflict/Problem/Plot
† Characterization
† Point of View
† Mood & Tone
Again, my apologies for the late notice. We have worked on these areas in
class since day one. I'm confident that we will perform well.
