We are SMART!!

Sage testing starts this Monday morning with a check on our writing skills.  We will continue this week Monday thru Wednesday.  Please help your student by encouraging them to get plenty of sleep, and come prepared having had a good breakfast.  Also please send a snack with your student for recess.  Pushing our brain cells to the max sure makes us hungry!



The Current Event was cancelled this month in order for us to spend more time on preparing/reviewing for our tests.

Homework this week consists of 1 math page and reading 20 minutes every night.  Because of testing this week our homework is minimized.   Have a great week-  we will!

Welcome back from Spring Break!

Welcome back from a wonderful spring break.  So many students described their activities and  adventures ranging from camp outs, family parties, St. George, and Easter egg hunts.  How fun!  We are all glad to be back and are working hard to improve our fluency, writing, and math know-how!  We love learning!

This week in Reading Street our question of the week is:  "Why do we have symbols that represent freedom?"  Today we talked about what freedom means and we shared our background knowledge about the Flag, the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the Alamo. Did you know  that it took 18 years to design and construct the Statue of Liberty. The statue then was disassembled and shipped to the United States. Here, an enormous base was built for the statue. The statue was reassembled, and Liberty has welcomed newcomers to the harbor ever since.

We will be finishing up our area and perimeter unit in math this week . We will be reviewing and reteaching much of perimeter and area over the next couple of weeks.

We are still pushing forward with multiplication and division timed tests for the next 3 weeks.  We won't be able to do pass-offs everyday but we will do checks twice a week.  There's still time to scoop up that ice cream with a little practice every night.  Our multiplication ice cream party is scheduled for May 21 at 2:00 p.m.  We will be needing a few moms or dads to help out with serving, so if you are interested in helping, please let me know.  Many hands make light work- and it's a lot of fun!  Thanks for all your support! 

 

Sage testing will be starting next week beginning April 28-30 for writing, May 12-13 for Language Arts, and May 19-20 for Math.  Hope this helps while you are planning appointments and vacations.  Have a great week- thanks for all you do to support your student and me!
