Update!

April Update

We have been soooooo busy this week!  
It was so nice to have a break and it sounds like we all had great
adventures!

We spent the week before spring break working on PIRATE activities!!  
We researched pirates, wrote pirate stories, built pirate ships, designed pirate flags....so much fun!

Since we have been back, we have jumped right back in!

Here are some highlights of what we are working on:
  • Science:  Motion and Design -- learning about Laws of Motion and using those laws to design, build and test designs.
  • Reading:  Reading about Science in Motion
  • Writing:  Learning how to write LIterary Essays.  Responding DEEPLY to text.
  • Phonics:  Moving on with Morphology!
  • Math:  Spending another week or two in fractions, percents and decimals.











And the BIG news.....We have been practicing for ISTEP+ part 2.
We will have ONLINE I-STEP testing on the following days....

Monday 4/17
Tuesday 4/18
Thursday 4/20
Friday 4/21
Monday 4/24
Tuesday 4/25
Wednesday 4/26

Most of our tests are from 8:30-9:30.....so a GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP is crucial!!!

Thank you for all you can do to get those kiddos in bed!
