OLSAT testing
On Wednesday morning, old friends will take the OLSAT test. This test is designed to measure abstract thinking and reasoning abilities that are most relevant to school achievement. There is a verbal and nonverbal score to provide a complete picture of students’ ability. This test is one of the factors used to determine EC placement in middle school. Test results are not sent home, if you wish to see your child’s results, please contact Dr. Marks in the spring.
Writing
Our writers did a fantastic job finishing their expository owl brochures! We’re excited to share these with you at conferences.
For the next few weeks we will focus on narrative writing. Students will be asked to write a personal narrative story. Our trait focus this week will be word choice. As writers, we will study the importance of using strong verbs to help our stories come to life!Math

Adding whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths.
