The 3/4/5 classrooms are super busy this week! Both classes worked hard on their NWEA Reading and Math portions of the testing. When not testing, the students enjoyed practicing on stage for their plays. The 4/5 students have created their beautiful costumes, and the 3rd graders continue to bring in ideas for their play props. Next week, both classes will paint and prepare their backdrops and any other necessary props.
Thank you, parents and guardians, for your continued support in helping your child get to sleep early so they are rested and ready for testing, and for assisting your child with learning their play lines.
Both classes are also working on academics. The third-grade students are excited about our CKLA literacy unit, which is reading Charlotte’s Web, focusing on story elements and character traits. The students will be writing individual narratives using the writing process. The 4th/5th graders are continuing their studies in poetry and mythology.
For Math, third graders are working on their geometry unit, focusing on quadrilaterals and solving problems involving the perimeter and area of shapes. Across the hall, the fourth-grade students are continuing to multiply and divide large numbers. The fifth-grade students have started a new Unit focused on Multiplying Fractions.
Please note that we will continue SAS testing next week, so attendance is crucial. Also, mark your calendars for Friday, May 29th, at 2:00 pm for our class plays!
