Literature- Friday Reading Assessment: Your child will complete an assessment in the format of multiple choice and/or short answer response. The quiz will cover comprehension strategies we have worked on that week.
Writing- Writing assessments will consist of a pre and post as we encounter each unit of study (different genre) following the Writing Workshop program. Students will also be assessed on paragraph and summary throughout the year as well. Assessed pieces will be returned with an attached rubric.
Math- Math tests will randomly fall in between lessons as a review of what has been taught so far. Your child will know a week before there is a math test.
Science- Students will not have any formal science assessments this year due to the transition to the new science standards, NGSS. They will get assessed during the evaluation portion and they will receive a standards based grade to notify parents and students whether they are meeting grade level standards. There will not be traditional study guides or test dates like the past. Assessments will occur within science activities and exploration.
Social Studies- Students will receive a study guide from 4-7 days prior to social studies tests. Study guides will be completed in class, and are meant to be used at home as a tool to study from. Plan on your child testing every 2 to 4 weeks depending on the particular unit we are covering. We will go over the new learning in various modalities and students will have plenty of exposure to the new learning prior to being tested. On the test day, the study guide and note packet are to be complete and turned in.
