I am so sorry that I was unable to get a post out till now. I have had some misfortune in my personal life and missed a couple of days. I will have grades updated by (no later than Monday, March 15) and I’m glad to inform you that the kiddos are doing great with all the challenging objectives that they are hitting in our different learning areas. Please do not forget about Maturation on March 13. Girls will be in the Q2 gym at 8:45 – 9:45. Boys will be from 9:45 – 10:45.
What we are learning:
- Math: Plotting on Coordinate planes. (AND end of Quarter Test Review)
- Reading: Unit 4 Review: Theme, Main Idea, Author’s point of View
- Writing: Essay and Theme writing in paragraph formation. Follow RACE standards.
- Science: Electricity (this has been a really fun unit)
- Social Studies: Current Events “Food Around the World” and they were able to search Dogonews for News around the world.
- Language: All verbs, All Pronouns, Homographs, and Homophones.
Sage Tests:
* It is that time of year again to prepare for our Sage Test. Here is the schedule and also a link to give permission for your child to have gum during all the tests. I will provide the gum and discuss the rules with the students. It seems to help concentration when you have a fine motor moving.
*Another thing that will help is a great night sleep. Please help your kiddo be to bed early and stick to a strict schedule, so that the next morning they can not feel rushed and are able to eat a great breakfast.
*Thank you for all the support you give my class and my students. It has been a great year, and I can’t wait to go out with a BANG!!!
