May Information

The year is winding down, but we still have a lot going on!  Here are some highlights:

Literacy Centers are due on May 19th.  The students have already had a week to start on these.

Math:  We have begun working with decimals and fractions.  The students will have "seat work" daily and IXL homework.  Please make sure they are completing these assignments and turning them in on time.

Social Studies:  We have started Unit 4.  The students have started a new vocabulary list.  Please help your child by studying these words with them at home.

Walk of Fame:  The students were given their person to research for our Hoosier Walk of Fame.  There is information in their Google folders.  We will research at school, but they can also do some researching at home.  We will begin working on a slideshow presentation next week.  At this point, I want the kids to learn as much about their famous Hoosier as they can.

April Reading logs are past due.  Please ask your child if he/she has turned their log in.  

Finally, we will have NWEA testing next week.

Weekly Highlights

Good morning!   I hope everyone enjoys the nice weather that is expected this weekend!  I just wanted to touch base with everyone about this upcoming school week.  On Monday, we will finish our practice ISTEP tests.  We will then have the actual ISTEP test on Tuesday-Friday.  On Monday, the students will be assessed on natural resources.  They may use any notes that they have taken about the topic.  Since we missed the end of the week, I will give the students an extra day to finish their weekly math.  I know that some students leave this at school, so I don't want to penalize them if they were unable to finish it, due to the cancellation of school.  This will be due on Tuesday.  There is a copy on Edmodo, if they want to work on it this weekend.  Lastly, we will be starting a chapter in math on division and a new concept in science this week.  Please let me know if you have any questions!
