Why So Many Articles About Wild Horses Wednesday?

 Today 201 students read three articles that shared the Wild Horses topic.  Today we took our ELA PARCC practice test.  It was a long morning, but your kids did a great job. We will correct the first section together on Friday.  It will not be graded as a test, but will count as classwork.  We will spend time going over the questions too.  Practice makes permanent.  Tomorrow, it's all about the math.

Mahreen, winner of the Almond Joy Award, suggests that we call today Winning Special Awards Wednesday. Great idea!  Each child did earn a special award today. These not-so-serious awards were a solid post-testing mood lifter.

This evening at home.....

• Complete the Mid Chapter Review in math.  We will go over last night's homework and the Review tomorrow and Friday.  Try your best to solve each problem.  Make a list, take notes, or make a model to help you get started.  Circle the problems that you want to spend time discussing.
• Complete pages 10 and 17 in the Ivan Folder. And. Not through.
