What is happening this week...








Hooray! We are finished with MAP testing! I couldn't be prouder of our class' hard work and dedication to doing their very best on each session! As a special treat, tomorrow the entire school will celebrate MAP with a special hour of fun activities and treats! Also, on Friday each student will have an opportunity to throw a chocolate pudding pie in my face, for working hard and giving their 110% effort . We also have Junior Achievement today! What a fun learning opportunity, the class loved our special guests.  

***Please turn in field trip permission slips this week! Thank you! This field trip was organized by our PE teachers. The students will have an opportunity to learn about health and nutrition, as well as playing some soccer!

Also this week...

Social Studies- For the remainder of the school year, we will spend our science time working on social studies! We are ready to get back into our study of the 13 English colonies and begin to study the American Revolution.

Writing- We are back to working on our DARE essay. Students are writing opinion essays on why they want to stay drug free. DARE essays are due May 11th on the Google drive.  Click HERE for more information on the DARE essay!

Math- With a busy schedule this week, students will have some time to focus on their ALEKS goals. Next week, we will begin to cover some topics that will prepare us for 6th grade math!

Reading- We are excited to get back to our "Read to Self" time, dedicating 40+ minutes to reading a book of our choice! We will be sharing book recommendations and making reading plans for the rest of the year and into the summer.
