So far things have run rather smoothly…we have only experienced a few minor glitches! We will continue with assessments at every grade level until April 23. You can help your students prepare for assessments by getting them to school on time, making sure they have had a good night’s sleep, and making sure they have a nutritious breakfast! No School: Mark your calendars! There is no school on Friday, April 17 (conference release day) and Monday, April 20 (inservice). The last day of school for all students will be Thursday, May 21. 5th Grade Visitation Day and Orientation: Robinson will be welcoming incoming 5th graders from Hyde, College Hill, Adams, and Washington for a visit to our school during the school day on Thursday, April 30th. There will be NO SCHOOL for current Robinson 6th graders on April 30th. On the evening of April 30th, we will invite ALL incoming 5th graders and their parents to come to Robinson 6:00-7:30 p.m. for an orientation session. 8th Grade Dance: Parent volunteers are needed to help with the 8th grade dance on Friday, May 15, 6:00-8:00 p.m. An initial meeting for interested parents will be held on March 30 at 6:00 p.m. in the Robinson Library. Other meetings and times will be determined at this meeting. Decorations, food, and a theme will be discussed. Please remind your student that they have to be in good academic standing in order to attend the dance on May 15. 8th Grade Promotion: Mark your calendars! The 8th graders will celebrate their completion of middle school on Thursday, May 21st in the Robinson gym. The program will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. A reception with cookies and punch will be held on the south patio after the program. Eighth graders will be released to their parents immediately following the program! Dress Code Reminders: As the weather gets warmer, please keep our dress code guidelines in mind! A copy of the dress code can be found in the student agenda or on our website. Shorts and skirts must be fingertip length. Shirts (even if worn under a sweater or jacket) must have sleeves. Shirts with plunging necklines or inappropriate words/pictures are not acceptable. Leggings may not be worn alone; they may be worn under shorts or skirts that are fingertip length. Torn/shredded jeans—if the tears are above fingertip length, leggings or shorts must be worn underneath. Sagging pants are not allowed…pants should fit securely around the waist! Students who are not in compliance with the dress code will be asked to call home for a change of clothes. If a parent cannot be reached, students will be assigned to in-school suspension until the dress code issue can be resolved. PAGE 2 State Assessment Season Is Upon Us The testing window at Robinson will open the week before spring break on March 10 and the last scheduled assessment will occur on April 23rd. Due to the many factors involved with the assessments, our testing schedule is quite complicated, with various grade levels and subjects being assessed simultaneously throughout the window. Attendance is essential during these times, so please keep that in mind when scheduling appointments. For specific dates and times of testing, please contact your child’s teachers. These summative assessments provide information about the depth and breadth of what students have learned. They are entirely computer based, and are used in the state accountability system. The students will be taking the assessment on the Kansas Interactive Testing Engine (KITE), which allows them to respond to a variety of technology enhanced items. In addition to the traditional multiple choice items, students will be dragging & dropping, filling in blanks, plotting points on a graph, labeling images, sorting, selecting from drop downs, etc. You may be wondering what types of assessments your child will be taking. Below is a brief summary of what is assessed at each grade level. Multidisciplinary Performance Task – MDPT (2 Days) Grades 6, 7, 8 Math Performance Task MPT (1 Day) Grades 6, 7, 8 English Language Arts - ELA (2 Days) Grades 6, 7, 8 Math (2 Days) Grades 6, 7, 8 Science Grade 7 Social Studies Grades 6 & 8 Day one includes reading and taking notes, etc. Day two includes the on-demand writing prompt. Could be - Narrative, Argument, or Informative/Explanatory writing. Expected 3 – 5 paragraphs in length. Students write directly in the KITE system. Test to Speech feature is enabled on this test, so. . . ALL students will need earbuds or headphones Students are asked to solve a problem and write how they solved it. This takes one class period. Could take as much as 50 minutes but could also be as short as 15 minutes. 4 parts Part 1 – 25 items Part 2 – 15 items Part 3 – 15 items Part 4 – 15 items 4 parts Part 1 – 25 items Part 2 – 15 items Part 3 – 15 items Part 4 – 15 items Multiple Choice Same as last year but fewer items and only items aligned with new standards Part 1 and Part 2 = 50 minutes but may take longer Field Test PAGE 3 6th GRADE The Beginning Band students have nearly completed a year of instruction and have made incredible progress! Now would be a good time to start shopping for an instrument for next year (students who are currently renting a school flute, clarinet, trumpet or trombone.) The 3 main music stores in town may have “nearly new” instruments to sell this time of year. Beat the “back to school” rush! Information has been sent home with your students regarding shopping for an instrument. You can always contact one of the band directors if you have additional questions. Our next concert is Thursday, May 14, at East High. I think you will be surprised how far the beginning band has come this year! 7th GRADE The 7th grade band students are working on music for the spring concert which is Thursday, May 14. It would be a good idea to check and make sure concert black clothes still fit! (Black pants/skirt, black shirt/blouse, black socks and black shoes.) Check with your reed players (clarinet, saxophones) to see that they have 3 playable reeds in their case. Brass players should have valve/slide oil. If your student has an instrument at home and one at school, they need valve oil for the school instrument as well. 8th GRADE Middle School Band Festival is right around the corner – April 25. The band will be performing at Northeast Magnet High School, time to be announced later, and, of course, parents are always welcome to come hear our performance if you can get away during the day. All students will need to wear their concert black for this performance (black pants/skirt, black shirt/blouse, black socks, black shoes.)You might want to check now to make sure those clothes still fit! The trip to the Festival of Music at Worlds of Fun is April 25. An itinerary will be sent home later this month. Final concert is Thursday, May 14! SOLO/ENSEMBLE FESTIVAL There were a total of 23 entries from the Robinson Band Dept. at Middle School solo/ensemble festival! Students earned a total of six “2” ratings; sixteen “1” ratings (including the Jazz Band); and one “AP” (advanced performance) to 8th grade percussionist, Sean Whalen! JAZZ BAND The Robinson Jazz Band has been invited to perform at the luncheon of the Kansas Association of School Business Officials convention to be held April 16, at the Hyatt in Wichita! We will be rehearsing every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:00 am to prepare for this performance! PAGE 4 PAGE 5 PAGE 6 PAGE 7 PAGE 8 Science: Ms. Zongker In sixth grade Science we will be doing a lot of fun and exciting labs. We will start out with using our microscopes again and we will be viewing animal and plant cells. The class will also have the opportunity to dissect an owl pellet. This is the remains of an owl’s prey they cannot digest. We will also put the remains together and identify the prey. As a class we will make a graph to represent the prey each group dissected. Your student will be constructing a solar oven for our Science Performance Assessment. This will be in April, but your student will need to bring foil, plastic wrap, and tape to construct the solar oven. I will be providing the pizza box for the experiment. Language Arts: Ms. Bailer and Ms. Pfannenstiel Big Idea: Acceptance Enduring Understanding: Accepting diversity strengthens community. Essential Questions: • What does it mean to accept others? • How do we respectfully demonstrate acceptance of others? • What is the relationship between diversity and acceptance? KCCRS ELA Topical Questions: • How does determining the meaning of figurative language help the reader analyze the impact of tone in a story? (RL.6.4) • What inferences can you draw from text by analyzing author’s use of style to describe characters? (RL.6.1) • How can summarizing a section of text help a reader determine a theme or central idea of the story? (RL.6.2) • When writing an informative/explanatory essay about the similarities and differences of two cultures and how the two demonstrate acceptance of one another, how will students utilize the compare/contrast text structure strategy in organizing the paper? (W.6.2a-f) Unit Overview: This unit challenges students to examine the idea of acceptance in our diverse world. At the end of this unit, students should be able to analyze and evaluate the importance of accepting many diverse people, ideas and ways of life. Students will also focus on understanding how diversity can be found in both large and small settings and why it is essential to be accepting. Suggested texts will help build understanding of respectful acceptance in multiple situations. The Close Reading selection, “The All-American Slurp” by Lensey Namioka, introduces students to a Chinese family that recently immigrated to the United States. This short story will invite students to determine central ideas that impact answers to the essential questions. Students will have multiple opportunities to respond through writing, listening, and speaking. After reading “The All American Slurp”, compare and contrast American and Chinese cultures including information about the Lin and the Gleason families’ ideas and ways of life. In your paper, include evidence of acceptance of the other’s culture by both families. Social Studies: Ms. Thach Myths are the oldest and most powerful of all story forms. They often carry an important message for a culture or a group. Students are continuing their study of Greek mythology through gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures and develop an understanding of what their purposes are. Lastly, please take about 5 minutes a day to talk about current events with your child. Math: Ms. Meitler and Mr. Franks We are starting a new unit called Covering and Surrounding. This unit will help students gain a deeper understanding of perimeter, area, and surface area. Students will be given a new book to use during this unit. The book looks like a workbook, but students are not allowed to write in it . Students will have these books checked out to them, and they will return the books at the end of the unit. Just like any other textbook, students are responsible for returning the book in good condition. If the book is damaged, lost, or stolen, the student will be charged $10 to replace the book. State testing started in March and will continue through April. It is helpful for students to get plenty of rest every night, and eat a good breakfast every morning. We have a limited window of time to get all students tested, so attendance is very important during the testing. Parents can talk with their student about the testing dates, as students will have different testing schedules. As always, it is good to practice their basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on a regular basis at home. Frequent practice allows your student to gain confidence and ability to be a better mathematician. Also, remember to sign your student’s agenda once a week. Students use their agenda as a communication tool between school and home, so we hope that you’ll look it over and use it to discuss what your child is learning every day. PAGE 9 Thank you to all the families who came to Robinson for our 7th grade Astronomy night! Students who attended were able to show off their rockets, see Jupiter using the telescope, learned about surviving a crash landing on Mars, and heard a speaker from the Lake Afton Observatory teach us about the solar system. It was a really fun evening and was really great to see all the kids excited about showing off everything they have worked on in science class! Math students are working on statistics and geometry during 4th quarter. Students will be allowed to use calculators on several of these assignments. If you are planning to purchase a calculator, the TI-30xIIs model is the best. (They cost approximately $15 and will work for 7th grade concepts into high school. Make sure to have students write their names on their calculators since many students have the same kind!) Students should bring homework home every night on Monday through Thursday. Continue to check agendas and ask your student to show you their completed homework. This quarter in Language Arts, students will be exploring the theme of Choices. We will be reading several fiction and nonfiction selections and analyzing the impact of the choices we make. This unit will culminate in an essay about how each of these selections relate to each student’s life. Mrs. Levy’s 7th grade class has been learning about personal narratives and will be writing one in class. The students are reading Freak the Mighty and completing various individual and group activities connected with the book. They are discussing setting, characters, and numerous types of conflict. ZAP (Zeroes aren’t permitted): Did you know that there is FREE lunch tutoring for students who need time to catch up on work? To come to ZAP, students need to bring their work with them to lunch and meet at the overflow tables. Students bring their lunch and have a quiet place to work during lunch and recess time. The supervising teacher can help them look up assignments they are missing, answer questions about homework, and help them get organized. Students who have a D or F in three or more classes should be attending ZAP every day it is offered. Science—Hard to believe we are almost 3/4 of the way through our school year! Thank you to the adults who helped make our Rocket projects and 7th Grade Astronomy Night on Tuesday, March 10 such a success! We will finish the year with Astronomy with many activities and a final project. We will cover the 4th R Unit – Healthy Relationships, Safe Choices, Connected Youth; with a five day coverage of the District Curriculum on Human Growth & Development. PAGE 10 The 8th grade team would like to congratulate the following students for their participation in this year’s Family Engagement Night. There were some great acts and loads of talent.
