  Forecast

  "High pressure is moving in today and clearing is in your forecast. It will be gusty and cold Saturday with winds form the northwest gusting up to 45 mph at times and air temperatures in the teens. We will see a clear sky tonight and cold overnight lows near 10. Sunday will have lots of morning sunshine then increasing clouds late in the day. Clouds thicken Sunday night and snow is expected to develop overnight into Monday morning. Minor early morning accumulations may make for a slow morning commute with periods of heavier snow reducing visibilities in addition to making roads slippery. The snow should wind down for Monday night followed by an arctic blast that could bring record lows for Tuesday morning. Snow totals are tricky as of this morning with the chance to mix with sleet and rain. The track will determine whether warmer air can sneak in or whether we remain all snow. In this all-snow solution, he have the potential to see 8-12" of snow. In the warmer/ mixing solution, totals will be closer to 2" along the coast to 4-6" for Providence and near 8-12" northern RI/ northern Bristol County Mass. Stay tuned...
  Saturday: Increasing sunshine, windy and very cold. High: 18.
  Tonight: Clear and cold. Low: 10.
  Sunday: Increasing clouds and breezy. High: 30.
  Monday: Snow, possibly heavy at times. Windy too. High: 26.
  Tuesday: Mostly sunny, blustery and bitterly cold. High: 17, Low: -4.
  Wednesday: Mostly sunny. High: 35.
  Thursday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow. High: 33.
  Friday: mostly sunny and colder. High: 23."

Here is the link to practice for the PARCC test we will be taking in March.
http://parcc.pearson.com/practice-tests/

Our class will be taking the third grade English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics PARCC Tests.

TESTING

Good Morning!

Students in our ELL classrooms are in the middle of testing in many areas.  We have had to take the Star Math testing for Middle of Year math assessment, DIBELS for reading assessment, ACCESS for language acquisition assessment, and our usual weekly Reading Street tests.  Students have been, and still are being assessed over the next few days in ACCESS.  This week and next week, students will be individually assessed in the Speaking portion of the ACCESS test.  Also, many are still being individually assessed on their reading progress through DIBELS.

Please be advised.  Your children should have a good, nutritious meal and a good night sleep so that they come to school prepared and ready to learn.

These tests are all standardized and state or district mandated tests.  I have no control over them.

Have a great week!

~Ms. Chuk

Inspiration for the new year.

Ms.Chuk hurt her back

Hello students,

I came by to let you know Ms. Chuk sprained her back and aggravated her herniated discs.  This means that Ms. Chuk hurt her back really badly.  She will hopefully be back at school on Monday if the doctor says it is ok.  Be good and show your best behavior.


XOXO




Check this out.  This is how Ms. Chuk is being treated.  It's pretty cool.
