Hello Parents and Students,
Sorry for the delay! I promise I'll do better next week!

OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: This week, we will begin Module 6. Module 6 focuses on telling time, data, and graphing. Students will be working on lessons 1-4. We will also be reviewing math concepts that we have learned throughout the year in preparation of CAASPP testing.
Reader's Workshop: We will continue to focus on reviewing skills from throughout the year to help prepare students for CAASPP testing. Students will also be taking a practice test for CAASPP called an IAB. This test will be done in two parts to guide students on appropriate test taking skills.
Writer's Workshop: This week, students will learn how to make a graphic organizer to help them during CAASPP testing. Students will be writing an informational paragraph about Earth Day.
Studies Weekly: In social studies this week, we will learn about inquiry. Students will learn how to ask a compelling question, search for answers, and interpret information.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday for P.E. every week.
