Reading Comprehension test

  I would like to provide some feedback on yesterday's test. Mrs. Tansill's and Mrs. Stewart's students who did not finish the test during the reading block were given the opportunity to come during lunch OR recess to try and complete it. Even with this extended time, a handful are still not finished. They will have the opportunity this morning after morning work to do so.

   Mrs. Gerber's homeroom students had a shortened recess to try to finish. Some students are still working on completing it and have the same opportunity this morning to work on it.

   Some sections I am allowing students to revisit. I have identified key words in the directions that were not paid attention to. Students have been taught the strategy of boxing or highlighting key words in passages and questions to help focus on what is being taught or asked. This will be reinforced all year to improve true comprehension, not word call.

**Please make a plan with your child. When they have incomplete work, will they come in early (7:15 Addison's doors open), work during lunch, or part of recess?

**Theme quiz is moved to Monday!! I wish to go over the reading comprehension test on Friday and have a mini-lesson on theme. I will need to finish grading the tests on Thursday as students are just completing them today.
