Week of September 22

Good Afternoon!

It is the week of IOWA testing.  4th graders should be done with testing by Thursday.  Today they all did really great- they took their time, no one rushed to finish, and they sat and checked over their work.  So they all deserve a "Great Job" for that behavior and we know they will keep it up!  Remember they can bring a snack (extra if they would like), a water bottle, and mints all this week.  Also they need to make sure that they are getting a good nights rest and eating a great breakfast.

For those of you who ordered Scholastic Book Order the order shipped over the weekend so we are hoping it comes in this week!

Also NO MORNING MATH HELP on WEDNESDAY for both 4th and 5th.

This week in...

Spelling:  Review Lesson 5.  Workbook is due on Thursday and Menu and Test are on/due Friday

Reading:  On the Banks of Plum Creek.  There will be NO reading test over this story.  We are going to read it, work on the skill, and learn about pioneer life.

Religion:  Miss Winter's class will take their Chapter 1 Test on Friday.  Mrs. Carbone's class is TBA

On Friday we will go back to our normal schedule.  On Thursday we will give the students time in class to review science, social studies, language arts, and math so they will be ready for Friday.

Mrs. Hall said that they can practice their math facts (+,-,x, division)

Oops!

Miss Winter forgot to hand out her Thursday paper messengers..... I am very sorry they will go home tomorrow :)

Also for math (just to clarify) they need to complete PB 2.2 and the 3rd page of the packet- it is about decimals.

Also there is a Spanish worksheet in their binders, it is due tomorrow.

Remember no reading test tomorrow!

Thank you!
