Classroom Update:

Math:  We have completed unit 10 covering measurement, and tomorrow we will take the test.  The students have been working hard on their math WASL practice.

 

Reading:  Recently, we have been reading historical fiction, informational fiction, and non-fiction stories so the students are learning about the past and different places.  WASL practice has also been a focus in reading lately.

 

Social Studies:  After spring break we will begin a unit of study on various Native American tribes.  We will learn about Pacific Coastal tribes as well as Southwest, Plains, and Northeast.

 

WASL:  There will be no homework for the two weeks of WASL.  This is so the students can rest and focus their efforts on the assessment.  I do expect that students are still reading at least 20 minutes a night.  If you would like to bring snacks for the class during WASL, please let me know.  It would be greatly appreciated!
