I do not have too many curricular updates since just before break, but we do have a few tests and field trips coming up right away after break, so I wanted to be sure everyone has the info they need!
First of all, just a reminder that there is no school on Monday, April 2nd. School will resume on Tuesday, April 3rd.
5th Graders take the Illinois Science Assessment, which we have scheduled for Thursday, April 5th at 1:15.
The following week we have our Spring MAP Testing. Our class will take the Math MAP on Thursday, April 12th at 10:15 and the Reading MAP on Friday, April 13th at 1:15.
The following week we will take our entire fifth grade trip over to South Middle School on Wednesday, April 18th from about 9:20-10:20.
Our World of Work experience will be coming up on Friday, April 27th, so be on the lookout for those permission slips to be coming home shortly after we get back from break.
On the curriculum front, we will continue our study of poetry after break. Students with numbers 11-19 have reading logs due on Friday, April 6th.
We will return to vocabulary, grammar, and spelling assignments the week of 4/3/18. Assignments and the Quizlet link will be posted this weekend for anyone looking to preview or get a head start on those assignments.
We will kickoff our Westward expansion unit as soon as we are back! Be sure to ask your children about their experiences as we start our Pioneers simulation!
Please let me know if you have any questions and enjoy the rest of your spring break with the kids! :)
