Either this week or next, you will be receiving a giant manila envelope with your child's ALP (Advanced Learning Plan) final progress report. Included will be rubrics completed by either your child's homeroom teacher or myself. You will also find self-reflections from your student about their own growth this year. In addition, there are copies of the mid-year progress reports that you should have received in January. Each child is required by the state of Colorado to have an affective goal (a social/emotional area for growth) and so you will find the checklists and reflections related to that too. Finally, please make sure to look at the white pages on the front which is the actual ALP that was written in October and emailed to you. Look at the bottom of each goal sheet (one goal sheet for each area of identification - math, reading, and/or creativity) because you will find a detailed write up about your child's final goal progress. (I have attached a quick picture of the box you should pay close attention to so you don't miss the most important information.) Final projects and units are coming to a close in my groups. Here are a few quick updates: 5th grade math - We finished our unit on ratios and rates with a test last week. They also completed the Stock Market Game and turned in their reflections on their learning from that experience. 5th Grade language arts - This group is finishing our final lit circle this week based on Tuck Everlasting. They have also been adapting children's books to be plays that we will perform for the kindergartners the last week of school. 4th Grade math - Fourth grade finished up a weight, capacity, and volume unit last week and took our last test of the year. Next week, we'll be learning finacial literacy through my own version of the Game of Life (jobs, rent, groceries and more!) 3rd Grade math - This group has just finished a unit on measurement including volume, capacity, and measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and coordinate grids. We'll finish up next week with a few fun lessons on probability. 3rd Grade language arts/creativity - The final literature circle of the year will be on Tuesday when we finish up Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms. We also have creativity monsters to finish up. A HUGE thank you to the students and parents who helped make teacher appreciation week at Werner so amazing!! I love working with your students, and I so appreciate you entrusting me to teach your children. The letters and gifts this week were beyond generous and definitely reminded me that my time and energy are valued. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
