Welcome 2011!

Welcome back to a new semester!! :)
Hope you all had a great break with your kiddos! It was nice seeing them today and hearing about the fun things they've been up to!

*FYI:
*New book logs are coming home today. They DO NOT have their Lexile # listed since we are about to take our MAP test again and they will receive new ones. When they do, I will send the range home to you.
*MAP testing is this week. All 3-5th graders will have a block of time to take the Reading and Math test with me. Therefore I will miss a few planning periods this week so please be patient with me on getting back to emails quickly!
*Our MAP test times: Wed and Thur. Students have already set their goals for these tests.
*Holiday Parties--Mrs. Sharp has changed our original plan, so I will get with the homeroom parent and let you know what's going on
*Learning Checks from FCPS will be given this week. Therefore NO switching classes and NO new content will be taught this week.
*We will resume our normal schedule Monday
*Mon, Jan. 10 students have their Music Test that was to be in December

Math:
Today we reviewed skills from chapters 1-4. WOW! We really need to work on rounding and multiplication!! :)  We also worked on word form, expanded form, and division.

Reading:
Students had DEAR time while we worked on our individual MAP goals.  Students know exactly where they need to be for the tests!

Science: We were finishing up Earth-Sun Systems during the crazy snow week, so we reviewed this concept with our Science Court activity. I was excited what all the students remembered!
Have a great night!
