As you know we are quickly coming upon the end of the year (YIKES!) and we continue to prepare (like we have all year) for the end of the year test we take. The first one coming up is MAP. Now I know your children have this (they seriously are a bright group of students), but we are giving them some "last minute" strategies. Many of the terms students will see on the MAP can be found in our Grade 5 website (http://ghes5.weebly.com/map-reading-vocabulary.html). Students are working diligently to know what words they do not know. They are hard workers.
Students are also working on their MAP Folders in Odyssey (https://www.thelearningodyssey.com/). This is a great way for students explore areas of weakness that they can bolster before our tests dates.

Again, we have been working all year to cover all the material needed to continue to grow as readers. I have expressed to the class how they have worked so hard and now is not the time to slack off, but double are efforts and push hard to complete the tasks we started back in August of 2013. We are not quite done yet, and we have a ways to go, but I know we will succeed. Keep reading NIGHTLY at home, work on the QUIZLETS, and ODYSSEY and
