May 8th - May 12th
Well it is finally here! SBAC testing begins this week. For the next two weeks the students will be tested on Math and English Language Arts. Please make sure that the students come to school with a full belly ready to test. It is important that they get plenty of rest during the week. We will have a lighter work load of homework for the next two weeks to keep them happy.
In class they will be working on a memory book for the school year. This will include drawing, coloring, and writing. It will be a great collection of moments from the past 180 days.
For testing students should bring a snack and headphones for the testing.
This week we will be working on the English Language Arts and Performance ELA task. Next week will be Math and the Math Performance task. Testing will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and make ups on Friday. It is very important that students arrive to school on time.
In math we will continue to work on area and perimeter. They will do some practice tests and then a paper test later this week. Homework will be lighter the next two weeks during testing.
In science we will continue to work on matter in all of its stages. They will learn about properties of matter and how change occurs. They may have some light science homework this week as well.
Donations: Our classroom is running on empty with our tissues and copy paper.
