Week 32

My thanks to you all for the Teachers Appreciation luncheon! It was a thoughful treat, especially at the end of this week.

 Progress reports for the girls went home today. Please review and sign them.

Now that the ELA test is over, we are turning our attention to the State Math Test. The class was asked to review some things in their math notebooks such as the strategies long division and finding fractions of a group. We have noticed in our practices that, while the State Tests are fairly easy math-wise, the real key to doing well is to read the carefully and check our work over carefully.

Here's what's coming next week:

  • We will have two music sessions with Tor this week. We will work with him on Tuesday and Thursday. There will be a concert for fourth graders to perform in on May 20 at 6:30pm.
  • The Math Test will take place on Wednesday and Thursday. Each session will be 70 minutes. 
Have a great weekend and Happy Mothers Day to all the important, loving ladies in our lives!
