Week of April 30

Testing Treats

It's hard to believe that we are down to the last few days of school. I think there are only 23 days left.  I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. As we all know, we will have our state standardized testing in 2 weeks. On May 14th and 15th, we will test our ELA and reading. On May 17th, we will test on math. Though we will not test the following weeks, 4th and 5th grade will still be testing science and social studies. To alleviate some of the stress, we will have a Pop a Test Stress Balloon daily. There will also be snacks given to the students before we begin. This is just to ensure everyone has a full belly. I have already sent the link so that you can sign up. Thank you in advance!!

Math  

Finish Module 5 on fractions. Please remember to allow your child to go onto Zearn or Khan Academy for extra practice. They will complete a study buddy for Thursday night's homework and take the test on Monday, May 7.

ELA/Reading/Writing

We started our test on Tales of a Trickster and some of us will finish it on Monday. this week we will work on Nachos and Lolita. The skills we will hone in on are point of view, summarizing, and towards the end of the week, figurative language. We should be able to test on Nachos and Lolita on Friday, May 4. The vocabulary for this story has been posted in the Reading Google Classroom.
