hello thank you all for coming starting just some unfortunately mrs. Fisher is still at school preparing materials so she won't be joining us today but I'm checking in with her right now to see if she wants me to share started one should be able to unmute themselves if you have any questions or anything little waiting let me know if there's a we definitely have some math stuff to talk about thank you all again for coming will get started in just a moment unfortunate mrs. Fisher will not be able to join us materials at the school I'll see what I can do to help you out just checking to see if she has any else wants to share to hello thank you again for coming today you're welcome we are recording so I'll go ahead I'll get started that way we can make sure we're not taking up too much of your time again unfortunately I'll be able to be here but I'll try to pass on some information from her probably the most important is that she is preparing for the material pick up today at 4:30 what I'm hearing from heard from Miss Christina is that you can go to score between 4:30 and 5:30 she'll have the materials ready for you at the office to check in at the office that should be there for you to pick up right in the front but if I hear anything different in different I'll let you know so material pick up will be from 4:30 to 5:30 and if for some reason it doesn't work for your family will find another time to get that material to you at 4:30 to 5:30 at the school in the front office the big thing that I was show me straight talk with everyone about and hopefully you saw the email already is the math test today super first math test today we've been practicing all week going to the study guide reviewing the different concept but unfortunately scores what I was hoping to see so we talked together during social studies I shared with the kids and I emailed all of you hopefully got it already but what I have done is braided the test on a curve so that basically took two questions out there were two questions that pretty much every student missed more than half 5th grade missed so I just took them out any students who got them right got extra credit so the test was originally worth 100 points I dropped it down to be worth any point so if your students got 65 originally that would have been busy but with the Curve graded ends up being a C passing a lot of students that is not going to be satisfactory that's not good enough so the other thing is I will be allowing test corrections hopefully your students received an email today email for school that looks a little bit like this score release mid module 1 assessment if you go to this email and click on view and click on view it should bring up this screen it'll give them a copy of their exam now this should be happening with her social studies test also so you may have seen something like this before but the math is one we just want to look this will show you a human excuse me this will show you everything that they got correct anything with marking green with check you can see 10 out of 10 points they got curves anything with his Mark to read they did not get correct it will not give them the answer though the correct answer will not be there if your student scored 55 or less if your student scored 55 or less and would like to bring that up I told them 60 but I'll go ahead and make a 65 Buffalo more enticing if they would like to bring it up to that 65 passing score they can print this out correct the items that they missed take a picture of their test corrections and send them to me and I will let them boost their score 265 again not super impressive I know but 65 out of 80 will come out to be please take a look with your student if you have any questions please let me know again all the green items are correct the red ones will be the ones they missed the correct answer will not be there if they print them out and make the changes and send me a picture then I'll boost up their score up to 65 we're also next week start with Z earn finally I've been promising that for weeks and it hasn't happened I make sure that I'm going to I will make sure it's even this weekend that we set that up so that students can work on that next week we will be using part of the zoom time in the morning talk about CERN to get set up based on the kids test scores they have been will will be set up to review what they need to review will be reviewing in class to as forward so got a lot of information on that I'm sorry it's just I was surprised I thought given what I've been singing class the kids would feel more confident with you better and this whole thing is a hard adjustment so we're going not going to punish anybody make sure that doesn't help them get the information of what matters now I see that I was wrong and mrs. Fisher was able to join us hi I'm at school I'm finishing up really fun packets for the kids so I hope everybody can swing by today at 4:30 if you can't swing by in the loop I will leave the extra Pakistan materials in the office and you can pop into the office anytime on Monday I know that schedules can be busy so if for some reason you can't get there today tomorrow I mean today or Monday I'm not planning on using any of this and Wednesday just to make sure the kids all have a chance to get their materials but I'm having fun on the copy machine and we'll be ready for you at 4:30 I'm mrs. Fisher where should they go to pick up the materials I want to make sure I told them miss Lynn and I are going to be in the loop and it's going to be like drive-thru so we have our bags I have like packing some things that as you drive through a text hello and I'll hand them their their materials all right so what I said the office that's just for Monday for today it's drive-thru pick up very much Saudi time in that time frame that you can come by at if I make an hour at my house Stager cars a little bit and then if you can't make it tonight I'll leave all the extras in the office for Monday and will obviously still be there Tuesday am I hope and planets that we can then start using he's on Wednesday mostly I'm really excited to see your kids so if they can jump in the car with you and come back by I'd love to be able to say hello but I understand it's Friday night so whatever works for your I'll be grateful to see anybody thank you mrs. Fisher was everything else that you want to share before you get back to it I didn't mean to drag you away any questions on a language arts or science and a thing for mrs. Fisher Patriot Day activity at September 11th activity we had a great Zoom so appreciated the conversations we had Tiffany we had it turns out it's not they're not able to access it online like I had thought I had spent many hours making sure they could so I'm printing it for them so they'll be able to do the activity this evening actually on good old-fashioned but you should be very proud of the discussions they had today I was impressed myself it did a great job do you know when we should expect them to have science homework or side work and science of time next week hopefully they're just about everybody is confident and comfortable and moving forward with math social studies and Ela so I'm hoping Monday we can do that anybody but it what you will see it on Monday will start short and sweet and kind of bills on it as we go they had an assignment today that was more classwork activities that they had a gender genius science video to continue showing examples of chemical and physical changes and then they had a small activity that they did after work so it was hopefully a quick introduction today and then on Monday though actually have not sure whether to call it homework cuz it's all work-at-home by keep referring to it as independent work but does that is that answer that question I'm hoping it doesn't take them more than about 15 minutes thank you I am going to go back in you having all this fun here I miss everybody and I'll see you at 4:30 thank you mrs. Fisher what's the strip mention the drink Ela they talked about Patriot today we talked very briefly and social studies about 9/11 about the attacks on September 11th I normally spend a lot more time talking about it with the students we were they quickly today because we had questions about the math test and things like that I will bring it up again on Monday if any students have questions or would like to discuss but I asked them also to check in at home and talk to their family so I hope some of them do if you have any questions about what we talked about as far as that goes please let me know otherwise this week we just wrapped up talking up Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest will continue to next week when I believe in Americans of the Great Plains X double-check but we'll be working on that a couple weeks in social studies does anyone have any questions about math or social studies going forward I do I seen that that the kids didn't do so well on this test do you think that this study guide cuz I remember you saying you think they're steady that you didn't make it mandatory should be made mandatory cuz I think that a lot of the kids that it's easy to lose focus when they're at home to just sitting there class work but you're right I didn't tell them that they had to turn it in send pictures I am definitely visiting that they will have to probably prove to me next time you'll have to send me pictures show me the store doing the work we that is also why I am starting Zurn again I've been putting it off because I didn't want to overload but this is something that I can more closely Monitor and see that yes they are doing it or know they're not and I can get a very quick idea of how well their understanding because I agree I tried it this way and it is not I'm not getting the results that I wanted the kids are not feeling confident or perhaps they are but they don't have the master that they think they do either way I want to make sure that I am giving them the skills that they need that I'm helping them with this so yeah that is definitely one thing I'm looking okay and I do have just one more question if the kids do need more help with math or not understanding something do you have a specific time frame find a week open just in case if any kids did need extra help for extra questions on now we have the office hours set up in the afternoon I'm giving you the exact time because honestly I have lost track as for the first few days I made sure that I was sitting in zoom and we didn't really get too many people coming in so I have stayed at my computer but I haven't had Zoom open technically from 245 until about 3:30 every day is when we're set up to make appointment for students to have them come in I will share that with the kids again on Monday and make sure that they know that I haven't had too many zooz ask but maybe that's because I need to share with parents okay thank you what else can I help you with it's Andre I know you had to cut the Fisher to put the survey out in the near future if you're going to stay at election results results we were hoping to talk about it more during the meeting today to be honest and I'm going to bring it up right now to make sure that I am representing this correctly what I remember seeing is that overall I guess not everyone but overall most people were feeling fairly satisfied with the current Arrangement like I'm talking about adding Zurn and other things I'm going to be making some slight adjustments to schedule based on what I see the kids need but we're not going to be making any big changes we don't or see in the future sorry again we were hoping to talk about that today and I at least got a little bit distracted by the mass let's take a look to you first of all to all of you who did respond to go ahead and show at least this part so this is as of right now thank you to the 60 people who responded so far it looks like the majority of families are feeling that the zoom time is okay at least in the morning afternoon times are better frases teachers because we wish we had them for longer but we could do more things and just get to know them should more information but half an hour sounds good I can't speak for mrs. Fisher but I will stay in the morning I am planning to keep the same hour for Zoom but I going to try to break it up differently I would like to have the students use part of that for their zern as we talked about earlier that jamboards and things that I were using was using did not properly prepare them for this test I will be looking at how that time just broken up hopefully most are feeling like kids have enough time for snacks and things like that I know that from what I read the specials on Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays classes you're in are still frustrating for some families we are looking at that but unfortunately seems to share those issues with everybody else is not a whole lot we can do as far as moving their time slots I got it goes bad 282 that our is long and we want to try to break it up and change it so that we still have them spending an hour on math but it looks a little different a little more engaging for them but we don't really you like we can give to my shut up unfortunately answer your question I'm sorry hopefully sorry is there anything else that I can help anyone with any other questions I can try to answer Mister Andre have a question so we went over the max chest with Parker and he was like oh no this is this is this one so we talked about slowing down meaning on the task of making sure you're reading the questions correctly is there any and I'm sure you guys would do this and I don't know if you've done this already so that if you forgive me but just going over testing strategies again with them since this is kind of the beginning of the school year did I mention nephew that I timer from 1000 years ago but I didn't know if it was anything that again that you guys are going over with them said just going to help him get used to self TimeWise taking a look at multiple choice open trying to eliminate the obviously bogus ones yes we do try to talk I wish there were more hours a day and it is thank you something else can you talk with them on Monday even something as simple as one of the students brought up in the afternoon that on their paper they had answer a which was correct but then because they accidentally scrolled funny on computer it Mark answered me and said which is powerfully frustrating both for them and for everybody so that is something we're going to talk about as well exactly how would I say check your work what does that mean when you're going to the test the first time how do we make sure that we're eliminating incorrect answers focusing on the ones that are possible how do I support and prove that my answer is correct I did read everything enter students today but I also told them that they could work at their own pace because I knew many of them was going to do it anyway trying to find a way to slow them down in the classroom is difficult online it is proving even more at Walmart looking into that because thank you for asking and thank you for going over that with him another part of that question is what are your your thoughts on if for one or two tasks of course if were able to have the time in my other kids are needing my attention with him Aaron's Syd Barrett now obviously I can't give him the answers to math is not my and just remind him okay let's go through this again or did you read this car but you could do that just as he gets mad my bet is that something you'd recommend or would you rather kind of we take a step back let them figure out their testing strategy with family sitting and guiding them through testing strategy helping them stay focus I have no prob I I always try to make sure that we put enough on your shoulders we put enough on you parents and families so probably doesn't feel hot try to make sure I'm not asking too much of you anymore than we already have to it's sorry I'm rambling again yes thank you for being willing to do that if it's possible I do want to make sure that I'm also working with the kids in prison this is good test taking strategy how can you guys help yourselves if that's our ultimate thank you thank you if there's anything else anyone else who has a question I'm happy to help otherwise that's about all I have for you next week hopefully is going to look very similar as far as extra math every day until the teacher says you're done the video for them to take notes from a social studies question in the afternoon this is Fisher talk about science homework coming and she's got the reading that she's doing we're hoping you just can I stick that routine and help the kids get comfortable with stop it again if anything comes up if you have any questions or concerns please let me know thank you all for taking part of your Friday for us have a good weekend thank you everyone have a great weekend your body
