Hello, families! It's so hard to believe we're coming up on Spring Break already! Please remember there is no school from March 25-29.
Our annual state testing is just around the corner. Fourth grade students will take the Reading/ELA test on March 12 and 13. Then we'll take the Math tests on March 14th, 18th, and 20th. Leading up to the tests, we will do some practice sessions to the kids are familiar with the format. Testing will be done on our iPads, so please make sure your child charges his/her iPad overnight so s/he can complete the test in class. Students are welcome to keep their iPads at school, as I did buy a class set of chargers for students to use in the classroom.
On Tuesday we are taking our Unit 4 math test (on subtraction and measurement). Students prepared for it throughout the unit and took a practice/review on Monday. We won't begin our next unit until after IAR testing is complete. Unit 5 is all about geometry.
For the next few weeks, we'll be learning about Greek Mythology, with a focus on allusions, character traits, and theme. This should take until we leave for Spring Break.
