School dismisses at 12:30 The next few weeks are going to be busy but I think the students are excited about the end of year activities coming up. MAP Testing: We have been reviewing skills that we have learned this year the past couple of weeks in preparation for the MAP test. We hope by them practicing the type of questions that they will see that they will not be as worried about the test. It is important that your child is present at school May 1-9 if at all possible. The first week we will test ELA and writing and the second week we will test on math. Math: We will take our unit 13 math assessment this week over unit conversions as well as area and perimeter. We want to get it finished up before we get in to MAP testing. Writing: We are looking at one final practice prompt on opinion writing this week. We will look at graded examples from the state to allow the kids to see how they score the writing and then use the same grading criteria to grade each others writing. This allows them to begin with the end in mind and see what their final copy needs to look like. Reading: We are starting book clubs this week. Students will work with their groups to hold book studies and talk about their books as well as respond to their reading. Students got their books on Friday and seem to be excited about this group-led activity. Field Trip: Permission slips were sent home on Friday. If you never got one please let me know and I will make additional copies to send with your student this week. Permission slips and money are due on Friday May 4. If you have any questions about the field trip please don't hesitate to contact me. Reminder: We will be holding an auction at the end of the year for students to spend their hard earned money from 4th quarter. If you have any items that you would be willing to donate for their auction it would be greatly appreciated. Sample auction items could be candy, packs of gum, drinks, dollar tree items, etc.

I hope everyone had a wonderful long Easter weekend!
Spring Concert - Thursday night April 5 is our Spring Concert. The students and music teachers have been working really hard on their performance this year and are anxious for their performance. Students are asked to arrive at 6:45 at the high school and come find me so I can get them seated and ready for their performance. Students have been asked to dress nicely for the performance. The concert will begin at 7PM. Math - We are wrapping unit 12, decimals, at the end of this week. We are also going to start MAP preparations with math as well. This will include reteaching some of those areas where students struggled with certain math concepts. I will be meeting each of them where they are to give them the best support possible going in to the state test. I think they are going to do great! Writing - We are finishing up figurative language this week. Students have done well with this unit and have been very creative in writing their own examples. Social Studies - We are moving forward with our lesson on economy. Students seem to be enjoying our economy system in the classroom and their ability to make money. At the end of the year we will be having a class auction so if anyone would be interested in sending in some items that students could use their "money" to bid on I would appreciate anything you would be willing to send in. Some items could include; candy bars, small toys, small games, drinks, etc. Students in years past have really enjoyed this to wrap up the school year. Upcoming Dates: Thursday April 5 - Spring Concert at the high school. Arrive at 6:45 Friday April 27 - Last Tiger Pride Assembly at 2:30PM Wednesday May 16 - Jeff City Field Trip - more information will be coming home soon Thursday May 17 - Field Day Thursday May 24 - Last Day of School |
