"Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude."
What Will We Be Learning This Week?
Math
In math, we will continue to review concepts for the End of Grade Test. Students’ skills are assessed daily to determine individual needs. Students are working hard to identify areas of need and working together to solve practice problems. Overall, confidence is high and I am proud of the students’ hard work.
Science
Students will continue their study of animals within an ecosystem. We will be looking at the Food Chain and interdependence.
Language Arts
We will also be reviewing test-taking skills for the EOGs.
Social Studies
Odds & Ends
Congratulations 4th Graders!
Ms. Ellis and Ms. Werth are incredibly proud of our 4th grade math students! We challenged students early this quarter to master 3,000 Accelerated Math objectives as a grade level. Students were immediately on board and achieved the goal within 5 weeks!! 3000 objectives…GREAT JOB!! They have earned the privilege of watching a full length movie on the big screen in the Media Center. Be looking for the permission form for this event.
