With biographies over we will go back to a more normal schedule. The students did an excellent job on the biographies. Every student in class was ready to present on their scheduled time! The students also did a great job of reading, preparing, and presenting their biographies. Finally, I'd also like to thank the parents for helping the kids get organized, take notes, and find costumes to fit their characters. I know it can be a lot of work preparing for everyone involved. Their grades will be sent out tonight. Thank you for the hard work put in by all!
Here are a couple of notes for the week:
- MAPs testing is this week on Tuesday and Wednesday (May 1 and 2). Tuesday is the reading section, and Wednesday is the math portion. Each test takes about 45-60 minutes.
- In social studies we will begin studying the 50 states. We'll take the pretest today. After that we'll start in the New England States and move our way West. The smaller states are usually the trickiest, so I want to start those first. We'll be studying the states for most of May.
- For language arts this week we are reading Family Traditions. The students will write a few paragraphs about traditions they have in their family. It can be things as simple as going to the beach or fair. It can also be things like special meals, birthday parties, family reunions, or volunteering to help a grandparent. The traditions in the book focus on enjoying simple things.
- We'll also have a challenge spelling list this week, which will consist of several stories from our past reading stories.
- For math we are back to multiplication. We will get to lattice multiplication later this week, which is a fun way to set up a multiplication problem.
- Finally, Don't forget that reading calendars are due tomorrow, Tuesday, May 1st.
