The new testing schedule has made it very difficult for me to plan ahead, so we have not had a graded homework assignment in a week or so. 
 
This week testing continues, so there won't be any homework until next week at least.
 
But there is an extra credit assignment:
 
Bring in an advertisement for a toy, game, candy, or restaurant. The ad should be a full-page ad from a magazine. That's it.
 
Ads are due by Monday 5/12 for extra credit.

1) Smarter Balanced testing
 
Today the students took the new Smarter Balanced test. This replaces the CST as the end of the year test for all California students. 
 
Because this is the first year of this entirely new test, the scores will not count. Kids are encouraged to do their best, but parents should know that if your child has technical difficulties that interfere with the test, that will not hurt your child's grade or academic standing in any way. This applies for the math test as well.
 
Homework: None
