Weekly Wrap Up

Today was backwards day! The kids enjoyed wearing their clothes backwards all day today... It definately made the day interesting.

 

I can't wait to go to the talent show tonight! We have four kids from our class performing and I am sure they will steal the show :)

 

April book orders came out today. I'll submit all orders on the 18th. Feel free to order online.

Students will be taking the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) test during the weeks of April 14^th and April 21^st. This is a state-wide reading, writing, and math test with multiple choice and short answer questions. We will be completing the Communication Arts (reading and writing) portions of the test on April 14^th, 15^th, and 16^th and the Math portions of the test on April 21^st and 22^nd. We will start in the morning and be finished by specials each day.

Here are some ways you can help your child prepare for testing:

·      Please make sure not to schedule any appointments for testing days.

·      Please have your child to school on time on testing days so they don’t miss any instructions or disrupt testing.

·      Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep.

·      Make sure your child eats breakfast.

·      Talk to your child about testing. We have talked and will continue to talk about simply doing and being proud of our best.

******************************
Math

In Math we are doing perimeters. We did less multiplication tests this week than normal. We did a lot of math on perimeters because the MAP TEST is coming up. On April fool’s day (Tuesday) Miss. Baxter brought in Brownies because in Fractions we were talking about sharing Brownies equally.

Writing

In Writing we are still working on Persuasive writing.  We are doing a lot of Writing because once again the MAP TEST is coming up. Before SPRING BREAK we wrote letters that were about Juvenile Arthritis to make the medicine less money. So over SPRING BREAK Kyleigh went to Washington D.C. to give the letters to the legislators. Kyleigh said there going to have a big meeting about it.

Reading

In read aloud we are reading Sisters Grimm. Right now in the book the sisters Daphne and Sabrina and a kid named Puck are going to save Daphne and Sabrina’s granny.

April Fool’s Day

On April first Miss Baxter brought Brownies and almost half the class thought she brought Brown E’s. But at the end of the day the trick was there was no trick.
