Week of January 23-27

Well we complete our first official full week of school of the new year.  Just a few things.  We will not have a weekly reading, grammar, or spelling test.  We are finished with Unit 3 so instead we will our third benchmark assessment of the year.  You can review all spelling patterns for Unit 3 as well as all grammar concepts starting with action/linking verbs, helping and main verbs, verb tenses, and irregular verbs.  We will be taking our fourth math assessment dealing with quadrilaterals.  They will need to work on identifying them and describing their characteristics.  Friday was the official start of the third quarter.  Students will receive their third quarter point goal this week so please make sure students are reading at least 20-30 minutes a night.  Lastly we have completed winter MAP assessments.  We will now begin looking toward PAWS and getting the students ready for that assessment.  I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend.
