This picture is just a reminder that the biome boxes are due one week from tomorrow, September 30.  We have discussed this at length in school, but if the students still have questions, please make sure they ask me for clarification.  We will be presenting the biomes next week Tuesday through Friday.  I’m excited to see the creativity the students put forth.  We will continue working on ecosystems this week and after our biome presentations as well.  The students have an outline which is due on Friday. Also, we will have a DLP Test on Friday.  Please encourage your children to study for these and all tests and quizzes.  In math, we are working on factors, multiplication patterns, and we will start multiplication.  We will have a quiz on Friday in math and also on Lesson 4 in Chapter five in social studies.  We are talking about the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies in social studies.  We hope to finish the book Wonder this week.  We continue to have excellent discussions about different aspects of this novel.  We took the reading MAPs test last Friday, and we’ll be taking the math MAP test this Friday.  The students seem to have taken their time while testing, which is great.  Have a good week.
