We continued our poetry unit in reading and writing, reviewed for the MAP test, and met in book clubs. We meet in book clubs on Wednesdays and Fridays. Students should read the assigned pages and complete their book club role sheet before meeting in group.
Writing/Spelling
We will continue in editing and publishing our poetry anthologies this week. We will not resume with a new spelling sort until after MAP testing is complete.
Science
We have started our forces and motion unit in science this past week. Students can log on to kz.com to earn extra credit with these new topics. Students should also be studying their vocabulary words at home.
MAP Testing Info.
As a reminder, our MAP testing dates will be this Tuesday and Wednesday, April 22nd and 23rd for Communication Arts. We will take the Mathematics MAP test April 29th, 30th and May 1st. Please try not to schedule any appointments on these days; It is important that your child is in attendance. Students should get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast. Students will need to turn off their phones and electronics and keep them in their backpacks on MAP testing days. Some students have chosen to not bring their electronics to school on MAP testing days. Also, students took home a note in Flyer Folders last week regarding our MAP snack trail mix! Thank you to all families who have already brought in snacks! Finally, there was no Friday Homework this weekend, and there will be no Friday Homework during testing.
Other Important Info.
Wednesday is an early release day with dismissal at 1:40. Please make sure your child knows how they are getting home.
Also, the lunch room would like you to know that as of April 30,2014, Chartwell's will no longer be accepting checks.
