Monday

Welcome Back! It was great to see the kids today and their sun-burned cheeks! :)  We shared SB stories and it sounds like everyone had a relaxing week off! :)

FYI:
CATS test is in 2 weeks
MAP test - we have to take one test before CATS {BOOOO!!!!}.  This will be on Wednesday.  Please encourage your child to do his/her best!!!
School Carnival is April 29th. Please contact the PTA about signing up for our booth! :)
Math:
Today we began our last new unit - Algebraic Thinking.  We started off with coordinate grids.  We played the games below to help up learn the x and y axis.  Next students played "Sunken Ships" to practice.  Lastly, students took their exit slip outside because it was sooo hot in our room! :)  Most students did a great job, but we will continue to work on this tomorrow.

Today we began our reviewing of skills for the CATS test.  We worked on sequencing and comprehension with an article.  We worked together on the multiple choice, reminding the kids to look back in the text to find their answers.  Then students worked really hard on answering the ORQ. Some kids are still not finished! We will be having a contest for the best one tomorrow!
