Hi Everyone,
We had a successful first day of testing. Thank you for all of your support in helping students get ready for the test. Also thank you for sending in snacks and for the wonderful emails of good luck wishes. Students do not have any homework tonight. They may work on any of our internet platforms for practice if you our they wish. We will take session 2 on Tuesday morning. Students should get outside this afternoon and unwind. Get to bed tonight at a good time to allow enough time for lots of rest. Please have a good breakfast in the morning and come to school ready to ROCK the last part of our math test!!
Students do not have school on this Friday 4/14. We will take the reading FSA on Monday 4/17 and Tuesday 4/18. Students will need to get to bed on time Sunday and Monday nights so that they are prepared to read the many reading passages on the reading test.
This week in math we will, of course take our FSA math test on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday we will take one of our end of the year diagnostic tests. After the taking the FSA our diagnostic tests should be a breeze. Next week we will begin two simultaneous units. One unit will have us covering some concepts to get ready for 5th grade math, Step Up to 5th Grade. The other will be a unit where we will use the math that we have learned over the past two years, Dream House.
In science this week we will learn about food pyramids and food chains. We are nearing the end of our plants and animals unit. Have students think about where their food comes from and how we get energy from the things that we eat.
We will work on our social studies on Thursday this week since there is no school on Friday. Students should have read and annotated chapter 6 lessons 1 and 2. Students were supposed to have read both lessons and taken notes in their science journals. This was homework last week and the week before. Please make sure that students have completed this assignment.
Have a Wonderful Week,
Aesha

Week of April 3rd
Hi Everyone,
Mrs. Pavlinek and I are extremely grateful to everyone that donated to our Donors Choose projects last week. Both of our projects were fully funded!! We have already received the tablets and are learning how to use the Seesaw program.
After receiving the tablets we have realized that they are extremely fragile. We both have started another Donors Choose project to purchase cases and screen protectors for the tablets. If you are interested in giving to either project you may use the links below.

Your child should have brought home their report card on last Friday. Please review all of the enclosed papers; report card, FSA Testing information, virtual school information, and gifted progress report (for those that are in the Gifted Program). All of the enclosed paperwork is for you to keep. We just need for you to sign the outside of the envelope for the 3rd nine weeks and return it to school no later than Friday.
This week in math we will finish up our unit on measurement. Students have been learning about both the metric and customary systems of measurement. Students will need to know which units are best for measuring different objects. Students will also need to be able to convert within each system. Students will not have to convert metric units to customary units. We will also learn how to convert units of time. Students do not have to memorize the conversion numbers. They will get a reference sheet to use during the test. Students were given a copy to use in class and on their homework. It can also be found at Measurement Reference Sheet.
To further help us to see what to expect on the day of testing, students have taken a practice test for math. We learned how to navigate through the test, how to answer the different types of responses, and how to use the different mathematical tools. You can see the practice test that we took by going to Math Practice Test.
We will finish up our work in our FSA practice books both in class and for homework. For computer homework this week I am asking students to work on Prodigy. There is a special FSA review section that has been assigned. Students need to do complete at 30 minutes. Please complete more if you have time.
This week in science we will learn about the different parts of a food chain. Students should begin using words like producers, consumers, and decomposers when describing different plants and animals. What would happen if all of the producers died off?
This week in social studies we will learn about the Civil War. We have already discussed the causes of the war. This week we will take a closer look at the war itself, the Gettysburg Address, and time period immediately after the war.
