We did it!

We made it through our NYS testing sessions! I am so proud of all the hard work each and everyone one of the children put in!

Still to come....
  • Currently, we are working on a Nonfiction Book Report. Each student selected a topic to research. They are required to do the research using the internet and at least one book source/encyclopedia. This must be done in their own words. Any information that they are taking directly from their sources will be cited properly. This is a skill we will be working on in class during Writer's Workshop. Please ask your child what their chosen topic is and encourage them to go to the public library for a wider variety of books to select from. After they have gathered their facts, we will be working on completing a Fast Facts page and I have given the students a packet to choose from a variety of presentation activities.

  • Our Unit D Chapter 1 Science test is on Monday, May 5. We will continue to explore space for one more chapter before we begin reviewing for the Final Exam.

  • Within the next few weeks, I will be giving the students review sheets for final exams. Please be looking for these to come home. :)

If you have not already done so, please return the permission slips and $6 for our last field trip to the Royalton Ravine. We would like all the money collected by May 6th.

As always, thank you for your enormous support through the year! I am so blessed to be working with such a fantastic groups of kids!
