Weekly Report
Hello to all! Next week is a BIG testing week. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure that iPads are charged all week and kids are here on time and well rested. This is important. (As if you couldn't tell.) We will take the practice test on Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will all be testing days. Then part 1 of ISTEP is over. We will have a reprieve until March 13-17 which is the IREAD3 testing window. I will let you know exact dates for that test once I make that schedule.
Because of the testing, we will not have a weekly story or spelling list. We will do some Dr. Seuss activities and have a more relaxed atmosphere. There should not be any homework next week. There will not be any times tests either next week. We (myself included) don't need any more stress.
Reading---No story Work on Dr. Seuss stuff.
Math-Continue Topic 10 on the days we can have math due to testing.
Spelling--no list/no test
Science--There will be a take-home Chapter 4 test on Monday. We will read over Chapter 5 in Physical Science and then move to Life Science and a little Health for the remainder of the year.
English-- We published Haiku poems this week. Your kids are fabulous little poets. Unit 5 will continue.
Reminders/Odds & Ends
