January Response To Literature; McCall Crabbs Standardized Test Lessons in Reading.  Students should be completing 1 passage per night for homework.  They turn their folder in every Friday.  These passages are designed to increase comprehension skills and develop inference skills therefore; students will develop the ability to re-read for clarification and concentrate on skimming the passage with attention given to locating the information from the beginning, middle or end.  This practice will benefit them greatly when taking the CRCT.

We have received third grade CogAT and ITBS scores.   ITBS score reports will be distributed in sealed envelopes on 12/9/11, the vendor does not distribute individual score reports for students/parents for the CogAT.  If you would like a copy of your child's CogAT scores, please contact your child's teacher.   CogAT measures reasoning and problem-solving skills in three different areas: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal. Reasoning skills develop gradually throughout a person’s lifetime and at different rates for different individuals. Reasoning abilities are good predictors of success in school and are important outcomes of good schooling.; More questions? Please download the following reference form with Frequently Asked Questions.  "http://sopecreeklibrary.typepad.com/files/faq-cogat.docx">Download FAQ CogAT

The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) is a nationally standardized, norm-referenced test (NRT).  A nationally standardized test is a test is administered to each test-taker in the same way across a specified comparison group (e.g., age groups, grade groups, etc.). Therefore, score interpretations are based on a comparison of the test taker’s performance to the performance of other students in the nation who took the same test in the same manner at the same time of year.   More questions?   Please download the following reference form with Frequently Asked Questions.  "http://sopecreeklibrary.typepad.com/files/faq-itbs.docx">Download FAQ IT

A Note From Our Counselors 11/30/11

Dear Sope Creek Famiy.

We are holding our annual Holiday Bear gift card program and would like you to consider making a gift card donation to help our Sope Creek families during this holiday season. Bears with store and amount designations are posted on the main bulletin board in the school lobby.  Please consider helping by taking a bear and obtaining a gift card.  Gift cards can be returned to your child’s grade level counselor by December 15.  Your generosity will help to make this a brighter holiday for many of our children and their families.  Thank you in advance, and may each of you have a wonderful holiday.

Your Counselors
