Teacher Info
 Amy Venable - Fourth Grade (Send e-mail)
I hope everyone had a restful weekend! This week, our class will be taking the FastBridge Assessment for both Reading and Math. FastBridge is District 157-C’s new screening instrument that will take the place of AIMSweb. Similarly to AIMSweb, this assessment will be provided in the fall, winter and spring to help teachers determine which students are likely to meet the end of the year learning goals and which students may require intervention. This computer based assessment measures performance in reading and math. The district will be providing training to all teachers on score interpretation. More information will be forthcoming to parents.
REMIND DIRECTIONS: Please sign up to receive messages via Remind. I send out messages about certain assignments, test/quizzes, and special event reminders. The directions are available in the "Downloads" tab of this webpage.
Advanced ELA: We continue reading Orphan of Ellis Island. I am modeling how to connect text clues with background knowledge to make inferences. Also, we are taking notes on memory moments and aha moments in the text. This week, we will be comparing and contrasting first and second hand accounts, as well. Our writers are drafting informational books with Natural Disasters as the topic. In the cool links section of my webpage, you can find the Natural Disasters Padlet, which has a wealth of resources to use as research. Feel free to bring in books or other sources!
Math: Our kiddos did a great job on the Mid-Module test this week! Since it is the first one, our school has decided to keep this first test a formative grade. We will continue with Module One this week with multi-digit whole number subtraction.
Social Studies: Great job being prepared for our quiz! Students had fun making our globe balloons and memorizing the names and locations of all the continents and oceans.
Science: We will begin Science with Changes of Land this week!
Governor Pat Quinn signed Erin's Law in January of 2013, which requires all schools in the state of Illinois to provide age appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention education programs for their students in grades Pre-K through 12. In response to this legislation, Frankfort School District 157-C will be adding, "Child Lures Prevention: Think First and Stay Safe", curriculum for the school year. The curriculum is available in the school office for parents to preview. | |
