Week of 10/18

This will be a short week due to teacher conventions and kids will end on Wednesday. I was very proud of the students last week when they got through their reading and math NECAP tests. It was a long test booklet and it required a great amount of focus, quiet and endurance. They all put a lot of effort toward the test. We are ending unit 2 in EveryDay math and will take a unit assessment. We are also starting our science forces unit (electricty, magnetism, light, and forces in motion). Each of the four teachers will specialize in one of the forces and students will participate in activities with each teacher until they rotate through all classrooms. We are also starting a literacy unit on folk tales from around the world. Kids will read a variety of books in the classroom as well as access books from an online website. This link is available on our blog. Have a great week.
