Week Four

Last Friday the student took the state location and capital test. Many did very well; we had two high scores of 100%! Some students needed to take more time to study and a retake test was given today. Many of the students did much better and increased their scores!

This week we will begin learning about the 5 Themes of Geography and will soon be starting a large state project. For the state project the students will be responsible for research and a presentation on a state of their choosing. This will be a partner project.

In Language Arts we have begun Literature Circles with the book, Frindle by Andrew Clements. We have also started Words Their Way or spelling. The students will be assessed on their words every Friday so they should be bringing their words home to practice the strategies and techniques we learn in class and study.
