Thank you for all the lovely gestures for Teacher Appreciation Week!  They’re all very much treasured.  It’s hard to believe that we’re getting close to the end of the year.  However, we still have so much to accomplish.  The students will be taking two PARCC math tests this week.  The computer room is very warm, so dress for that!  We are working on measurement in math this week.  There will be a quiz on what we’ve learned thus far on Thursday.  We are approaching the end of the Civil War in social studies.  Chapter 15, Lesson 3 Test is on Friday.  We are in our last unit of science.  We will be doing a small project in science before the end of the year.  We are reading “Satchmo’s Blues” in reading this week.  We will have an end-of-story test and a DLP test on Friday over this material.

Next week we will be reading an autobiography.  We’ll be writing our own autobiographies, so look for instructions on this project next week.  Also next week look for some information on our upcoming field trip.  I hope everyone has a great week.
