EOG week

It is End of Grade week this week at South Fork. We have had three tests- including Science- and we have one more tomorrow in math. It is a short day for testing and the last day for most of the students. We have about 7 students who will completing make up the rest of this week. Then we have a long weekend before we hit the ground running- again.


I have been amazed at how hard the students worked so far this week. I have never seen a group of kids stick with the reading test as ours did on Monday. We had several students who took the extra time to finish. It was truly awesome to watch. I hope the scores reflect how hard the kids worked. They should all have fours- if it does. Today, I saw so many students using all the strategies they have been practicing all year. It was a good day for testing today.


We are winding down the year but we still have three weeks to go. I hope now that testing is essentially over, we can take the time to do some activities with our students that fit into our curriculum but is not related to testing. Our multicultural week is the last week of school. Now would be a good time to do some hands on, fun, learning activities that involve the different cultures represented in our school.

Have fun with the end of school. Keep the kids engaged and pull out all those activities you used to do that made teaching fun. Let's end this year with a bang!
