Math test on Halves

Just wanted to briefly share the results. 23 students out of 40 recieved A's. that's about 59% of my two classes--that's very very good. However, what's not so good are the F's ---TOO MANY (8). When a teacher see's as many A's as we had it usually indicates that the lesson was well taught. Why then too many F's ? well some students don't have the backround skills to transition to third grade and some students just don't pay attention and some students just make careless mistakes. This particular test was actually pretty easy as is Friday's Math test. In Friday's folder you should see 2 math tests and a social studies test. Thanks. AG.

An Exciting Year

Are you ready?--Ready to learn more about Math, Science, and Social Studies than you've ever learned before! Math Investigations is taught and as you may know, M.I. does not have very much homework. Grades will be given through tests and Duval County exams. Science and Social Studies will be given report card grades for the first time (instead of S/N) and a study guide will be given approx. two day before the test. It is up to the student to copy the study guide and STUDY the study guide. You can help your child in Math by practicing skip counting with them--for example 3,6,9,12...etc.
last year they should have learned to skip count by 2's, 3's, 5's, and 10's to 1,000. Now practice the 4's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's.Skip counting is essential in third grade.
