ISTEP is back again for the final time this year. We will be testing Monday-Thursday this week. Please make sure that your child is well rested and has a good breakfast each morning. Students are also allowed to chew gum during the test. There will be no homework this week because of testing.
Language Arts -
Today we are starting our novel study on Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare. We will be reading the book in class and looking for various forms of literary devices as well as comprehension and vocabulary lessons. Each child will have there own copy of the book to mark up. It is expected that they will have their book in class each day. In addition to our daily activities they have a tic-tac-toe to complete as well as a literary devices log. Each of these will be due on Friday, May 15th. They will have time to work on it in class but they may also have to work on it at home in order to get everything done.
Math -
We didn't have math today because of ISTEP.
Science - Welcome Mrs. Suddarth's class to Landforms. We have a lot of information to cover in a very short amount of time. We will have fun learning about canyons, mountains, and maps.
