VOLCANOES DUE MONDAY

Celebration-We had a little treat today because we all did so well on some computer program. Ask your child what it was and write it in their planner for extra money at check in on Monday. All my getting after them and their hard work in Math is paying off!!

I sure hope as you are reading this the volcano in your house is complete or almost complete. They are due on Monday. Remember a big part of Science grade this 3rd quarter.

We have more testing this week. We will do the reading test on Tues., Wed., and Friday. I am once again excited for them to shine and show all their know. The card you see in their mail that has a number 1-4 on it is an example of a constructed response just like on the test. We went over them today and critiqued them discussing what was good and what is needed to work on.

We are starting Fractions in Math on Monday. I am not giving a chapter test on Geometry since we are having so many other tests. All the daily assessments & quizzes have been enough and we have a good grasp of those concepts.

We are finally going to start Social Studies once again. We are into the Midwest Region. There are 12 states & capitals that they will be responsible for. Start studying on your laminated map now.

No Spelling list this week as we are in a review chapter. We will have some assignments to review skills, and then a random test of 20 words on Thursday.

Have a great weekend.
