We have a lot of testing that will be taking place this week in our classroom. Last week we finished Unit 1 in reading therefore we will be taking our Unit 1 Skills Test this week. During the week of a Unit Skills Test, there is NO SPELLING TEST and also no weekly story that we read. In this new reading series, the Unit Tests are quite lengthy. We will begin taking our reading test tomorrow, continue it on Wednesday, and use Thursday to finish it if the additional time is needed.
Tomorrow we will be playing a review game in class for our Unit C Science Test. We will be taking the test on Wednesday. Students have two review items they can be using to study – their Unit C Review Sheet and also their Crossword Review which I will be handing back today.
Last week we completed Topic 3 in Math. We started our practice test on Friday and will be finishing that today before we take the test this afternoon. This test will be completed on-line, therefore students will not have an opportunity for corrections on this particular test.
The Candy Apple fundraiser continues this week and next week. Orders are due Friday, October 10th. Please return all orders and payments by that time.
This Friday is "Chicago Sports Team Day" at CCIS. Students are encouraged to wear clothing representing their favorite Chicago sports team.
1st Trimester Midterm reports will be sent home this week. Just a reminder that we are only halfway completed with the first grading period. I discussed with the students that there is still plenty of time for grades to be changed – both in a negative and positive way. If students are happy with their current grades they need to continue working hard in order to keep their grades where they are at. On the other hand, if students are not content with their current grades, there is still plenty of time for them to bring their grades up.
On Wednesday, October 1st, Mrs. Vignocchi will be hosting the first CCIS School Store of this school year. Students can bring in money and shop to purchase different items. Mrs. Vignocchi went through the different items that will be available for purchase with the students during their library time last week. The store runs from 7:40-8:05AM.
