Today the students were able to experience ice skating on our field trip! The students and teachers had a lot of fun and I believe a lot of the students learned that ice skating is much harder than it looks! Any student who brought their own ice skates to the field trip was reimbursed $3.
Tomorrow we will be taking the Language Arts MSTEP in the morning. We will be having class in the afternoon. During Language Arts, the students will be presenting their Folktale Project. No other time to work on these projects in class will be given since they have had a least 45 minutes for the past 6 school days to work on the project. All students need to make sure they are ready to present both their scrapbook page and their slides tomorrow. Since we will be MSTEP testing for at least two days this week, we will spend most of our Language Arts time testing or presenting our projects. I do hope to be able to start The Giver by Friday.
Since most of our week will be spent testing and presenting, I am NOT requiring students to work on Read Theory this week since we won’t have much time for Daily 5. All students will be allowed to read their good fit book when they are done testing and in order to stay on track, the students should be done with Good Fit Book #7 by the end of the weekend in order to focus solely on The Giver.
Have a great evening!
Homework:
