GRADE 5 CAASPP TESTING CONTINUES THIS WEEK! 💻
Grade 5 will continue in annual state testing (CAASPP) this week, with a focus on science. It is important for students to be on time to school and to be present every single day, but especially during these days! Please be sure your child has a good night of sleep and eats breakfast, whether at home or school. iPads need to be charged and brought to school daily. Good luck to our Bobcats! 🍀
Please visit: https://www.eusd.org/page/caaspp for more information on testing.
FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE 📡🚀🔭
The month of May marks a district-wide focus on Competency-Based Learning:
Learning is driven by evidence-based instruction, assessment, and feedback cycle based on progress toward desired knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
-Use assessment and tools as tools for learning
-Employ a mastery approach to learning
-Create a performance-based assessments
Here is a link to the entire Blueprint.
