Week of March 18-22

ISAT’s are officially over! The students did an amazing job this week and last week with their ISAT tests! I am so proud of all their hard work!

We have an early dismissal on Tuesday, March 19. The students will be released at 11:00.

 Thank you for donating to the treasure chest! We have been running low, if you would like to donate treasures, please feel free to send them in whenever.

Spring Conferences for math students:
If you have not already been informed about a conference and feel one is necessary, please email me by March 20th.  Spring Conferences are scheduled on an as needed basis.  Thank you! 

Math:

We will be starting a new chapter this week. It will be chapter 18-fractions. We will also be concentrating on dividing by 4’s this week. The graded test on 4’s will be on Friday, March 22.

Reading: 

Next week will continue to review our reading strategies by doing guided reading groups. We will also be writing our essays on how to trap a leprechaun. 

Spelling: 

Back to regular Spelling! There will be a pretest on Monday and we will still have the final test on Friday. If your child gets 0,1, or 2 wrong on the pretest they will have 2 challenge activities and the cursive sheet, they have the option to take the test on Friday. If they get more than 2 words wrong, they will have the regular work. (Cursive sheet and two assigned activities) The homework is due on Thursday.

English:

We will be finishing unit 4 this week. The final test will be on Friday, March 22. The study guide went home and the best way to review for this test would be to do the practice pages in the textbook. (pages 162-163)  

Social Studies:

We will continue our Chicago unit this week. We will focus on the Great Chicago Fire. 

Science:

We will continue our Space unit, chapter 10. This week we will focus on Lesson 2.

Have a wonderful weekend!
