Good afternoon!

Another full week of 4th grade is in the books!  The students continue to hang in there and give it their all!  Thank you for supporting your student as we continue our journey together.

The students learned how to draw and measure angles with a protractor this week and on Monday we will take a test on all of the math skills that we have learned in the geometry unit.  In reading we have been focusing on short reading passages and independent reading.  We also have been looking at practice MCAS tests in order to prepare the students for the test next week.  We have finished our science unit on physical science and will start to learn about the regions of the United States next week.

Dr. Ashley has requested that on MCAS testing days, the students have two snacks.  One for before the test begins and one for after.  By eating a snack before the test begins, the students should not be hungry in the event that we have to miss our typical snack time because students are working.  Maintaining the integrity of the testing environment is important and stopping midway through for a snack break may disrupt the flow of the test for students.  We will provide students with an extended snack/break when all students have completed the session.  Also, there will not be any homework on the night before or the night of MCAS testing.

MCAS dates are as follows:

ELA-Wednesday, May 19-1 session

Math-Wednesday, May 26-1 session

Also, Special Olympics will take place on Thursday; don't forget your beach towel!

Check out Mrs. A’s YouTube channel for quick tips on many topics. This week is all about MCAS!

 

Have a great weekend!

Mrs. A,
