Good Afternoon! I hope everyone had a great weekend. It's our final ISTEP week of the school year. Students will be taking 6 tests over the next 3 days. It's very important that students do their personal best on these tests. You can help us out by making sure the students are well rested and eat a healthy breakfast tomorrow. We won't have homework this week, not even spelling words! Students may also bring gum to chew during the tests.
Language Arts
We began our last story in unit 5 today. That means that we will have a unit test on Monday of next week. Our story is The Gri Gri Tree. Our comprehension skills are asking questions and summarizing. Our vocabulary skill is root words. These are our vocabulary words: ventured, emerged, unreasonable, attraction, inquire, discussions, sprawled, and focused. Our grammar skill is comparing good and bad. (think good, better, best, bad, worse, worst)
Math
Today we corrected our unit 9 math tests and worked on a fraction, decimal, and conversion review. Tomorrow we ISTEP.
Health
Today we learned about how we see and hear. We also learned ways to keep our vision and hearing safe. We did activity sheets 18 and 19.
