Week of April 10th

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
