Wow!  Spring Break went by fast!  I hope everyone enjoyed the extra time with family and had a great Easter!

 

We have a SUPER busy week in store for us.  Most importantly, we will be MAP testing Thursday and Friday for reading, and test on Monday and Tuesday for math MAP. 

 

We will continue with unit 7, week 3.  We will focus on a science article, "Odd Couples".  We will use our main selection to review main ideas and to identify topics.  We will also be using the article to help us synthesize.  We will focus on words with al, all, oi, and oy for spelling and phonics.  We will work on future tense verbs for grammar. 

 

In math, we will be reviewing time and fractions and test on BOTH at the end of the week.  We will use the first few days of this week to review.  A study guide will come home Monday.  Please review with your child if needed.

 

Depending on how much time we have left after testing this week, we will learn more about fossils and even make our own!  If time does not allow us to get to this part of our science unit, we will cover it next week!

 

***Test taking tips***

Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep!

Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast so they are ready to go!

Make sure your child arrives at school on time.  Being off their normal schedule can throw them!

Gently encourage your child to do their best!  Try writing a message of encouragement in their planner to encourage them!

 

***Remember***

Spring Picture Day on Thursday, April 7!  Even if you are not ordering pictures make sure your child looks spiffy!  We will be taking our class picture!

 

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and a great week!
