4/16-4/20 Iowa Assessments (Formerly ITBS) testing. Please have students get A LOT of rest and eat a good, healthy breakfast!

Math- We will not be having regular math classes this week. We have a lot of math based assessments. We will play some math games on days we are not taking math tests.  

Reading-  We will not have a story this week due to testing. :) Next week will be our last basal story  

Science- I will be showing some videos about Sound this week, to help having a relaxing yet educational break from testing. I will also be giving spelling words and spelling tests, since we will not be sharing classes due to testing.

Writing- We will continue taking a look at different forms of poetry and creating our own.
