Math: Greetings students and parents! This week we are taking the Unit 2 assessment and completing mid-year iReady assessment. Test corrections will once again be mandatory. Please stress the importance of your student doing his or her best on the iReady assessment. Lessons generated by iReady are largely based on the results of the assessment so it is very important that the results are as accurate as possible. Next week we will begin Unit 3 on Probability and continue to work on that unit until Winter Break. We will pick back up with Probability when we return in January with a test expected in the second half of the month. Thanks so much for your continued support!
