Highlights from Week 29!

Whew! We completed our first week of the MSP (state testing) for 4th graders!! They did an amazing job of staying focused and persevering through hours of writing! This week, we will have our final two tests: math and reading (Tuesday and Thursday). Students will not have homework so that they can relax and rest up at home. 

On Friday, all of the 4/5 grade classes will be going on a field trip to the Moore Theater. Please return the field trip form as soon as possible! 

Highlights:

-We are taking a break from writing lessons/units during the testing weeks so that students can free write and get their ideas/thoughts/feelings expressed through their writing. We will begin opinion/persuasive writing next week!

-Math lessons continued this week and we covered/reviewed some new measurement concepts. 

-Historical Fiction Book Clubs resumed this week with more work on the setting, background knowledge, and the time period of each book. In groups, book clubs made a timeline poster of the setting of each book. 

Thank you for your continued support of our students throughout this testing period. I know that for some the anxiety level rises, and students can feel extra tired... So thank you for understanding and being an encouragement to your children during this time!
