Week of April 27

Can you believe it's almost May?

Writing: We'll respond to our Pen Pals this week. It's been a while since we've written!

Math: Last week of math review! It's crunch time. Your students will be given the choice to work on the areas they need the most help on. We've reviewed pretty much everything, now it's time for them to choose what they need the most help on as week make our final preparations.

Social Studies: We will actually start our Revolutions Projects this week!

Homework: No homework on test days, Tuesday and Thursday. Homework will be given on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Skyward: Unfortunately, Skyward is down currently. Many students have turned in missing assignments. Thanks for following through! I promise I'll get them in the computer so you can see their updated grade as soon as Skyward is back up.

Any questions? Let me know!

Week of April 20

Sage Testing Begins This Week!

Reading: We're working on reading SAGE excerpts and answering questions. Getting all geared up!

Writing: Finish up commas and pronouns. We'll be ready for LA SAGE testing next week!

Math: Review! We'll be doing equations, inequalities, tables, and graphs this week.

Science: SAGE TESTING Tuesday, Thursday, and potentially Friday morning. PLEASE BE HERE!

Social Studies: With testing going on, unfortunately social studies gets put on the back burner.
But as soon as we can, we will be starting reports on the Revolutions.

This time of the year is CRAZY! We have SO MUCH going on. This review time is crucial for students to be ready for the SAGE test. Coming back to some of this tricky content the second time is just what students need to solidify and deepen their understanding. Please, keep your students in school as much as possible. We will be using every minute and more.

I have also tried to be very on top of assignments going into Skyward this trimester. Please visit Skyward with your child and see if they have any missing assignments. They can always get a second copy of a lost assignment from me.

Thanks for all you do!
