We had a great field trip yesterday! I hope to get a few pictures posted later in the week.  Thank you for all you did to help make the day a success, especially our chaperones!

Finish AM if you didn't in class.
Spelling test is tomorrow!

Poetry project is due Friday!

Book Tasting at the Book Bistro

This morning, I surprised the students with a "book tasting" at the Book Bistro.  Here are a few shots of them sampling some new books.  They will be reading at least one of their selections between now and the end of the year (and hopefully they will have time to read four or more).

Hooray! We Did It!

Hooray!  We did our best on our Milestones tests!  We finished today with 100% perfect attendance (for our class) for each day, meaning that we don't have any students taking a make up test.  I am so very proud of how hard our boys and girls have worked to do their very best!

We will be having a small class celebration tomorrow, so students are allowed to bring in a DVD movie selection if they would like.  (We will vote as class to decide what we watch.)

4/28

Students worked really hard on today's math Milestones test!  I am proud of all the hard work they have put in this year, and they took their time today to do their best. 

We will test science tomorrow afternoon and social studies Thursday afternoon.  Homework is to review these two subjects!

The May newsletter is going home (early) in today's signed papers.  The upcoming final month of school is extremely busy, so mark your calendars accordingly!

4/23

Testing today got off to a great start!  The kids were very comfortable with the format since they had practiced it already.  Tomorrow will be the writing (typing!) portion of the ELA test.  I am so proud of our students and of the effort they put forth!

Continue to work on AM.  Work on ideas for the ELA restaurant menu project.

This Week's Important Info

It seems that Milestones testing went well yesterday for 3rd & 4th grade (who are also testing today).  We will begin testing in the morning with the English/Language Arts portion followed by the writing section Friday.  Thank you all for the snacks that you have sent in to keep the kids fueled during this process!  Thank you also for your help in keeping them calm, rested, and well fed during the testing period.

Next week, we take all of our tests in the "afternoon" (target start time of 11:30 am): Tues. Math, Wed. Science, & Th. Social Studies.

Now for assignments/homework:
*Work on AM every night if you haven't mastered a minimum of 160 objectives.  Thank you!
*Students may complete a WOW for a bonus both Wednesdays of the testing window (4/22 & 4/29).
*Students may also complete a bonus spelling and/or vocabulary choice (due 4/23).
**Our spelling and vocabulary tests will be Monday instead of Friday.  Please study this weekend!
