Good Morning Families! 4/2/18
A quick reminder: today is a half day! Also, Check your mailbox for
report cards!
This week students will have 3 days of Math SBAC testing for a little
over an hour on each of the three days, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Our SBAC testers and Science Fair finalists will be honored with a brief
assembly (15 minutes) on Friday morning, April 6 from 7:30- 7:45.
For Literacy class, students should be reading a minimum of 20 minutes
per night.
Math practice worksheets and answer keys can be found at mathdrills.com
Fraction work would be most helpful.
Social Studies: This week students will wrap up their timelines on the
Westward Expansion events that we have been learning about. All timelines
should be finished by Wednesday. If you would like to see your son/daughter's
timeline, they are online in their google drives. We will then move onto
"The Oregon Trail". This will focus on some of the hardships some of the early
pioneers experienced. We will learn about this through a video and a simulation game.
Language Arts students will continue learning about the Lewis and Clark expedition
in preparation for their own Journal or story writing. Sign of the Beaver book
summaries are very past due! Please ask your student about handing in
their summary.
