GRAMMAR LESSON 27 The skill for this week is using commas in sentences. Commas are used in compound sentences, in a series, and with dates. Help your child see the different ways commas are used in a sentence by looking for them while reading.

If you were not chosen or were not able to come with on that date you can join us on May 30th at the Skating Place. More details will be posted as we get closer to that date. On Tuesday and Wednesday (April 29-30) of this week we will take the Math MCA tests. Once again I'm asking you to help your child by seeing to it that they get to bed at a good hour the night before and also have a good breakfast on those dates. I wish I could share the results of the Reading tests but we aren't allowed to do it at this time. Let me just say this that as a class we scored about the same as my group did a year ago for our class average and last year I was happy. Everyone that I felt would exceed or meet the standard did just that. A strategy that we use for our Math MCA test is for the students to read the question twice along with showing their work on a piece of scratch paper. I'm also asking the students to do the problems twice before they click on the answer. Please remind your child to do just that. Last year my class had 92% meeting or exceeding the test compared to 75% for the rest of the District! In 2012 we also scored 92% compared to the District average of 81%! I'm confident that this year we can do the same and get higher than 92%.
