Update 5/21-5/24/18

Enjoy your long weekend and Happy Memorial Day! We only have 7 more days of school left. This year has flown by!

Writing: We continue to practice our typing. We continued to write a paragraph of the day on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Wednesday, we completed our Spring MAPS testing. The kids and I are happy to be done with testing!!! They have been great. Next week, we will continue writing a paragraph of the day. 

Reading:  Last week, students had their final scholastic assignment while I reassessed their final reading levels for the year. Students also received their final spelling lists of high-frequency spelling words. The final spelling test will be on 5/31/18. Next week, students will have assignments that cover some of the standards we have covered this year. I will be finishing up with assessments of reading levels.

Grammar: For the rest of the year, we will be reviewing all of the concepts we have learned this year. I will be reassessing any student that received a 1 or 2 on previous assessments. Students will also be practicing their poems for the Poetry Slam.

Projects: Last week we continued making products. Next week, we will finish up making products for our Market Day, and begin making poster boards for the businesses.

We started a boys verses girls point system for the last three weeks. The boys all sit at tables together, as do the girls. They earn a point for behavior and the group that has the most points on 5/31/18, will be getting a special treat and will have lunch with me. They are all very excited about this and have been doing a great job!

Homework: Read for 20 minutes a day. Study spelling lists for test on 5/31/18.
