Done with Testing and Back to School!!!

I am so thankful that we are finally done with all the testing.  Thank you so much for making sure your students got plenty of sleep and were well fed.

There are some big upcoming activities in class that I want to remind all the students and their families about:

Fictional Narratives Final Draft is Due (without illustrations) Thursday October 6th.

Social Studies State Capital Research (not typed or written any specific way, unless their group decided) due Friday September 30th.

Math Test on Monday October 3rd on large number multiplication and exponents.

Also, regular spelling and vocabulary are beginning this week, so next week there will be both a spelling test and vocabulary test, on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

The Sign of Beaver should be finished up by October 14th and then we will have a comprehension assessment about the book as well as groups will be working toward presenting their knowledge on the book.

Social Studies Test on Thursday October 6th (which we will be studying for during class time, however, can do some more outside class if necessary).

This may seem like a lot, but really it is very doable, especially since there will be ample class time given to complete/study for most of this!
