NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!!

Yay!!!  We are almost done with testing!  Students spent the morning on part 2 of the PARCC test and will finish the final math test on Thursday.  As a reward, they have no homework tonight.

Also, I am not feeling any better, and since the students are not testing tomorrow, I am going to stay home.  :-(    Please feel free to stop in and visit the classroom.  :-)  They should have homework tomorrow depending on how much they complete in class.

Thanks for all your help!

Thursday, April 23

Tonight's Homework:

• Math: Finish Session 2 in the Practice Test
• Study for Spelling and GROW

Please don't forget that Part 2 of PARCC begins next week.  Any practice on Compass Learning or Study Island would be beneficial.

Thanks for everything!

Wednesday, April 22

Tonight's Homework:

• Spelling:  Finish workbook pages
• Math:  Finish Session 1 on practice test
• Science:  About 1/3 of the class needs to finish the science crossword puzzle on the Solar System.  

I think that's it for now.  I'm off to the district office for a meeting.  Have a great afternoon!

Tuesday, April 21

Tonight's Homework:

• Reading: Session 2 of PARCC practice test
• Math: Complete #1-10 of PARCC practice test (We did some in class.)

As you can see Round 2 is getting ready to begin for PARCC testing next week.  We will be taking our tests on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.  After that, PARCC is over!!  We will still have the district MAP test, but that is no where near as stressful as the PARCC.  :-)

Students may work ahead in the PARCC Math practice test, but I do not want them to go ahead in the reading.  We will be timing ourselves on sessions 3 and 4 tomorrow.

Thanks for all your cooperation.  Have a great afternoon.

Tonight's Homework

• Math: Measuring and Showing Data (Students will need a ruler.  I allowed them to take one home if needed.  Please help me by making sure they return.)
• Spelling:  Unit 28 sentences

That's it for today.  Short and sweet.  :-)  Have a good evening!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday, everyone!  I hope you have a chance to enjoy this beautiful weather!

Your child does have a math practice assignment to review converting metric measures.  It shouldn't take too long, but I do want them to show me the equation or chart they used to help answer the questions.

Other than that, enjoy the weather.  :-)

Oh, and I did not send home Friday papers because of the short week.  There is a calendar in your child's folder, however.

JA in a Day!

Good afternoon, everyone!

I want to thank our parents, Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Powell, who volunteered to teach 4th grade students about money and how to handle it wisely.  They both did a great job playing teacher for a day!

Because of Junior Achievement, students only have a math review for homework.  Both sides of worksheet 2 must be completed. I would also like them to read for at least 20 minutes at home.

Thanks again for everything.  Have a great afternoon!

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back to school everyone!

I was glad to see everyone back today.  I enjoyed hearing about all the fun that was had over break.  :-)

Now it's back to work.  The second part of PARCC begins a week from Monday, so we have a lot of work to do.

Tonight's Homework:

• Reading: Comprehension questions using complete sentences
• Math: Converting Customary Units of Measurement (Students must show work.)

Students have been warned that if they do not use sentences on the Reading or show work for math that it will be considered a late/incomplete assignment.  Please help me with this.

Thanks and have a great afternoon!

Students are allowed to bring in something to pass out if they would like.

Also, don't forget:  Report cards will be coming home tomorrow.  All I need is the envelope back after break.

Thanks!
