Happy spring!
This week we are preparing for our first round of MAP tests: Language Arts. We are scheduled to take this section of the MAP next week, in the morning. My students need:
1. Solid night's sleep
2. Healthy, complete breakfast
3. A positive attitude
Students are encouraged to bring an item to share to make "MAP Mix" -- good items to send are:
- a box of dry cereal
- a bag of chocolate chips
- a box of Cheez-It
- a jar of peanuts
- raisins
- small marshmallows
- any dry snack that you can think of
Also, conferences are scheduled for this Friday. You should have received your conference notice from me, if we've scheduled one. If you aren't sure, please contact me a.s.a.p.
Since we are in "MAP mode" for the next three weeks, you will notice that I will not be testing or quizzing as usual. I will not send home Story of the Week for the next three weeks, either.
Instead, students will be working on their Famous Missourian posters in class, as well as conducting labs in earth science. We will be studying probability in math, and practicing games to detect fairness and equity for rules, using our knowledge of fractions, division, and percentages. Our current spelling list is Chapter 22.
