With only four Mondays left after today, and MAP testing behind us, we are in the home stretch. The year is going by so quickly. In class we are getting back to our routine. We are also anticipating May, and all of the field trips planned for the month.
In communication arts we are continuing to do our spelling, daily language review, and reading of the "The Borrowers". We are starting a new project by making a ABC notebook about the Civil War.
In math we are looking at fractions, and reviewing time and money.
In social studies we are looking at the Southern States region.
Fourth quarter progress will be coming out next week, and we are poised to work very hard for the balance on the school year.

With the temperature in the 80's one day, and a chance of snow the next day, you know it's Spring time in the Ozarks! In class we are reviewing for MAP testing. In math we are going over numerical operations, math reasoning, and probability. In communication arts we are working on our daily language review, spelling, and writing in our journal. We have been reading "The Borrowers" as a class. While reading we have been looking ahead at the illustrations in each chapter, in order to try and predict what we will read about that in the chapter. We have mid term, 4th quarter grades coming out soon. And be sure to check for fliers and notices from your student for the activities and field trips coming up before the end of the school year. I know the students are all looking towards the summer break. However, we still have some learning and fun to have before then.
