Our Week in Review ~ The Cupid Shuffle ~ And A Happy Birthday Wish ~

This morning we celebrated the end of the Reading/Writing MCAS with a quick dance break. The fourth and fifth graders learned the Cupid Shuffle during PE, and we all danced together this morning. What a fun and invigorating way to begin our day!














After our dance, we wanted to take a minute and wish our favorite teacher, Miss Johnson, a happy birthday.






Our Week In Review

This week we began to read our next interactive read aloud, The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden. We have really enjoyed starting to meet the characters from this book. We will be focusing on the skills of making predictions, foreshadowing, and characters (and how they change over time).

We are also enjoying listening to The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. This is a fun way to review the skills we've learned so far in reading. We are also focusing on visualizing with this book.

In math we are continuing learning about decimals and percents. This week we learned how to multiply and divide decimals. Our test is scheduled for Wednesday.

In Social Studies, we are continuing our journey across the USA. We are still in the Southeast! Our test day has not been finalized yet, but it will most likely be the week before vacation.

In Science, we are continuing to study weather. We will have a special weather guest next week, and are looking forward to it on Monday. Our test date on wind and clouds hasn't been confirmed yet, but will also most likely be just before vacation.
