NWEA testing will start this week. I will be giving the first test this Thursday. It is important that students go to bed early, have breakfast in the morning, and arrive at school on time.
There are four NWEA tests- science, math, reading, and language. They will be given these tests throughout the month of January.

Happy New Year!
I hope you and your families had a wonderful, relaxing break.

Unfortunately our classroom is running low on tissues.  If anyone can donate some boxes of tissues to our classroom it would be greatly appreciated.

Due to today’s snow day, I will be giving the math test on Monday.

I will be giving a math test on Friday.  It will be on showing multiplication and division models (drawing equal groups, repeated addition) and solving story problems where they need to multiply or divide.  It will also cover multiplication/division fact families.

Our next unit will be on measuring.  We will focus on measuring to the nearest half and fourth inch.
