Momo:
There have been recent news reports on the Momo Challenge, a form of cyberbullying said to be prevalent on social media platforms such as WhatsApp and YouTube. Momo messages allegedly compel youngsters to engage in perilous activities such as taking pills, stabbing other people, and even killing themselves.
While there is strong reason to believe the Momo Challenge is overblown, word of the Momo Challenge is now so widespread that whether or not it represents a real threat, the subject has generated rumors that in themselves can be cause for concern among children. Tell your students that Momo is NOT real and that they have nothing to worry about. Please see me if you need support or have other questions.
PERFORMANCE TASKS/CAASPP INTERIM ASSESSMENTS–
TK-2 should use the SBUSD District Performance Tasks which can be found in Illuminate. 3-6th grade may use either the CAASPP Interim Assessments OR the SBUSD District Performance Tasks. Please complete ALL performance task experiences before Spring Break.
TK-2
SBUSD Performance Tasks- Ask Georgina- She is the EXPERT!!!
Grades 3-6
CAASPP Interim Assessments found here
***Student MUST access the test via the “air secure browser”
CAASPP LABELS– Labels with student SSID and other testing information can be found in Illuminate in a report named “CAASPP Labels” (creative, I know…). When you open the report, click on “Labels” on the tool bar in the grey banner then click “Download”. You can print directly to label sheets or print to regular paper and adhere them to an index card. THESE ARE SECURE TESTING MATERIALS, and should be locked up nightly.
Smarter Balanced Blueprint and Release Questions:
As we move into CAASPP season (well, spring break first), I wanted to share the resources below. As you are facilitating Interim Assessments, you may also want to use some of the CAASPP release questions in your math instruction as problems of the day or number talks. These might also be tools for you to use when you meet with your grade level teams.
