This week we will be completing the Stanford Achievement Tests.
We will be working on them during the morning times Mon-Thurs.
Make sure your child gets plenty of rest and good nutrition this week. They may bring snacks, water and mints to school if they wish to help carry them through the tests.
We will only have 2 assignments this week.
1. Social Studies - each student is working on an individual research project about a topic from the Revolutionary War. We researched last week. Their final slides are due Thursday. They will have time to work this week, but may need to complete them at home.
2. We have been editing our stories for over a week now. That too, we will finish this week in order to publish the stories. You may help your child edit, but do not rewrite the story for them. This is a reflection of many weeks of work, and what they have learned in writing this year.
You are welcome to make suggestions and help with grammar, punctuation etc...
Next week we will get back to our regular schedule and work. We will be finishing up our poem unit with a group narrative poem project and moving on to our final Book club book. This will be a book written in prose form. There will be a calendar of assignments posted on classroom once we get started. These are not difficult books to read and we will get through them quickly.
We are wrapping up the Tournament of books. Each student needs to have read one book from the list and filled out a ratings sheet. Extra books will be entered as extra credit points.
Blessings on your week,
Mrs. Brown
