Feeling Good Friday

Yes, we are feeling good about how hard we've worked all week.  Today Team201 took the final math and reading ISAT sections.  On Tuesday, they will be ready to tackle the Science!  Today was mostly about testing, but students did get a "bonus" gym period and outdoor recess.  In the classroom, we finished our original Candy Bar creations and shared our treat descriptions with the class.  I will post some pictures later this weekend.  It was not easy to hear these mouth-watering descriptions so close to our lunch period!  In the afternoon, we reviewed some science concepts.  We played the game, Are You Smarter Than a Fourth Grader, and watched a BrainPop on Eclipses.

This weekend at home...

• please complete the Sample Test.  We will discuss the answers on Monday.
• log on to Edmodo.  I have posted some Science Review songs and videos.
• Read for pleasure!

 I can't wait to return to our regular schedule next week!  Next week we will.....

• Study the microscope.  Some of this material is already posted on Edmodo!  We will learn the parts of the microscope, take a quiz, and learn how to use the microscope.
• Read the next Harcourt story, Juan Verdades.   We also read a variety of folktales, and we will write our own tall tales.
• Begin our SS unit: Illinois. I will be posting the text book, Illinois, Our Home, on Edmodo.  
• Begin Chapter 13 in our Harcourt text.  This chapter covers division basics.
• Take the Science ISAT, sections 1 and 2, on Tuesday.

I hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend!
