APRIL WRAP-UP

Wow, what a month! Here it is the end of April already. We just got back from our Rockwall field trip and everyone had a great time! I wasn't able to climb, but it was fun watching and cheering all of you on. Some of the climbs were difficult and it was exciting to see you reach the top. Yep, just like school or any goal, stay focused, keep your eyes on the goal, keep going, don't give up, and you'll make it to the top! Remember that when you are trying to accomplish anything...you CAN be successful...just like your rockwall climbing experience.
So here's what going on ....
ELA - If you missed the grammar test this morning, be sure you make it up by the end of the week. In reading we will have a vocabulary and comprehension quiz on Chapters 1-3 from,
"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry". We will then continue reading. You should be on Chapter 4, if you're not, you need to catch up. Monday we will be done with Chapter 4 and moving on, so don't get behind.
Science - Yesterday everyone took the Solar System test. If you missed it you must complete the test before the end of the week.
Math - Tomorow (Thursday) we will see how well you remember and understand solving and graphing two variable equations. I have confidence in all of you...I'm sure you've got it!
Social Studies - Be sure to finish your 4 slides for your project presentation.
Health - See Mrs. Kuhner or her blog
Advisement - Monday we will discuss your egg drop and will make your egg drop poster for the science fair. We will also share our experiences at the Delaware Rockwall.
