Week of April 3rd-7th

We will have early release on Wednesday.  This is the only early release for the month of April!

FSA Practice Test Site: we HIGHLY encourage your student to get on the FSA Practice Site.  We have and will continue to practice this but the more practice they have the better and more comfortable they will feel come test day! They even have answer keys so you can double check their work.  It is encouraged that in math students complete the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade practice test as each test may expose them to different tools they may be required to use on the test.

Academics:

ELA:  We will continue with our FSA vocabulary words this week.  Some students struggled this week with the test however, it was also evident that some students really studied!  Vocabulary test on Friday along with a reading skills assessment.

Monday we will complete the practice FSA test to familiarize ourselves with the tools on the computer.  We will also take some I-ready skills assessments to check progress on standards.
The Natural Disaster Booklets are due Friday along with RRJs and chats.
New work jobs this week will include more FSA practice questions.

We will continue our study of Natural Disasters this week and also spend some time on Figurative Language!

Congratulations to Mrs. Ray's homeroom for earning Top Dog!  We will be eating some delicious
"Worms in the Dirt" this week as a reward!


Math:   We will finish up our coordinate grid system and review line plots.  Students will have a test on Thursday.  We will then begin to review all topics covered thus far we will begin by looking at place value including decimal place value.

Science:  We will begin reviewing weathering, erosion, and disposition.  We have several fun and interactive activities planned for the week.  Be sure to ask your child the difference between the 3 things later on in the week!
