Hello Everyone,

We are in the home stretch. We will finish our last week of academics and wrap that up by Friday June 5th. Please be sure your child has turned in all google classroom assignments by 3:00 p.m. on Friday. We will be working on report cards and emailing those out by June 12th.  

We have our final zooms on Monday June 8th and Tuesday June 9th. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed being your child's teacher this year and have celebrated getting to know all of you as caring parents and community members here at Mountain School. This was a very different kind of year for all of us, and I am impressed with how resilient we all have been. Your children have done a fantastic job of growing, maturing and meeting many challenges this year.

Important dates and messages:

1. Summer CAASPP Practice Recommended:CAASPP Practice Link
This year, the CAASPP practice link is being shared with families for "at home" practice. This is recommended. Please take a look at these resources with your child. Go onto the practice and training tests website. Select student interface practice and training tests. Sign in for a guest session so your child does not need an ID. select grade 4. Your child should practice the following tests: Math practice test and Math performance task; and the training test for ELA grades 3-5. The answers are not scored, but there is value in looking at the questions together and discussing how to select the best answer to multiple choice questions and looking at how to answer those prompts that require a written response. Your child should practice 1 of each kind of test. This also gives your child a chance to practice the fourth grade CAASPP in preparation for the fifth grade CAASPP next year.

2. Summer Khan Academy Math Practice recommended
topics to focus on: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers, fractions, measures, decimals, area and perimeter, graphs, line plots, volume, geometry

These optional schedules, which will be light, will be available on the website under the home menu in schedules. Because many of you will have returned chrome books by this time, your child will need to use a different device to access these.
