Be Practicing Your States

We are ready to begin Hawaii tomorrow.  Should be ready for next test over all the states covered on Friday.  I want to create another test for using the atlas as well because we are using part of our reading time for studying about each state.  They will be able to use their atlas for that portion of the test.

Today:  read ch11 Sign of Beaver
spelling test
math practice test/ homework sheet

Be sure to get your experiment in by sometime next week.

Congratulations Kendra and Ethan R.!

The Monarchs have overwhelmingly elected  Ethan R. and Kendra to represent them this year on the student council.  The Monarchs know how to look for peers who are responsible, respectful, and reliable.  Good for them on doing such a great job, and congratulations to Kendra and Ethan for having such awesome reputations. 

Today:
  • read ch6 in Sign of the Beaver
  • practiced parts of speech
  • states tests (open book atlas and one from packet)
  • math test/ reviewed place value/ IXL in computer lab for decimal practice
 Picture forms sent home in agenda today.  Also an envelope from office.  I am assuming that it has something to do with ISTEP.  Only those students taking the test here last spring received one.
