The next 4 weeks are packed with all sorts of activities.  We are continuing to prepare for the End of Year Tests.   We are still learning new information as well as reviewing concepts we’ve learned throughout the year.  We  have completed the writing section of the test, and the Language Arts Section will be next week.  Please note: Math testing will be the following week.

Homework:
Reading every night is a habit that should be well developed by now and will hopefully continue for the rest of all our lives.  I have seen a decrease in the number of minutes being turned in for the library and in our classroom.  Please find books that you can read to yourself or with your family.   This week I will be randomly calling on the students to tell us what they have been reading at home.  Please, please, please continue to read nightly!

Prodigy is set to review all of the math concepts we will be tested on next week.  We are still learning and reviewing in class also.  We will be reviewing the concepts covered on Prodigy in class, as well as continuing to learn about equations, capacity and weight in class.

We do not have formal spelling words for the rest of the year as we are learning about rootwords, idioms and word parts.  All of these types of words are found throughout the reading we are doing in class as well as in the individualized reading that you do every night at home.

Have a great night and please be ready for dress rehearsal.
