What an exciting day we had on the field trip to Green World. Thank you to all the parents who battled the heat and helped watch the kids.
Next week we will be taking the Iowa tests. Please see the schedule I've posted on my blog earlier in the week to see which tests will be taken on which days. We have taken the practice exam which your child should have brought home to share with you so you have an idea of the format and types of questions. Please ensure your child eats a good breakfast and gets enough sleep prior to coming to school. There will be no homework or tests (other than the Iowa) given next week.
This week the students finished chapter 17 in Math on weight, capacity and temperature. In English we finish the descriptive story (which I will post on my blog soon) and started the next unit on capitalization and punctuation. In Reading we read a Chapter book story called "Crazy Cool Cricket Club". I was quiet impressed by the students improvements in fluency and pronunciation while reading this story out loud. In Social Studies we read a chapter on what it means to be apart of a country with a focus on holidays.
Next week we will have some light activities after the Iowa tests, such as art, writing and engineering an egg holder from garbage and seeing how high you can drop it with out it breaking (a second grade favorite).
Congratulations to Aoi Fujimoto for being this weeks student of the week. Aoi has been very responsible in class and did a great job navigating us through Green World. Keep it up!
