States and Capitals

I showed the students some very fun apps for learning states and capitals and state placement.  There are lots of great free apps and some are only a dollar or two.  Please encourage your child to find some of these apps and study hard!

I also gave each child the words to Wakko's song about the states and capitals.  It has search directions on the sheets.

Old fashioned flash cards and puzzles work well, too!

The test is May 12!

The students did well today!  One day down, four to go!  Tonight:  STUDY the ELA section of the CRCT study packet.  Review any questions you missed today.  Make notes, flashcards, etc.  Be ready!

Eat well and sleep well tonight!

CRCT Homework

Tomorrow is the big day...the READING portion of the CRCT.  Each child has a CRCT study packet with them.  They need to study the READING portion tonight.  They have two reading passages that are stapled separately, not in the packet.  Please review the reading portion of the packet with them.  Have them read the two passages and answer the 10 corresponding reading questions.  Thank you so much for reviewing nightly with your child.  They are well prepared and I know they'll shine!

Thank you to all the parents who are sending in drinks and snacks each day for our after test break!  We really appreciate it!

Mini Economic Flip Books are due tomorrow! Be neat and organized! 

Updates

Writing scores are in!  We did an amazing job!  Every single student in our homeroom passed!  Each child has a sticky note with their score on it.  You will be getting an official letter from the school with their score on it in the next Friday Folder.  They are really excited about how well they did!  Please celebrate their success this weekend!  Starting with a blank page and turning it into something thoughtful and beautiful is really quite a difficult task! Hurray for  Burnette's 5th Grade!

Please try to get good sleep this weekend.  Sleep deprivation carries over into the whole week, and next week is a BIG WEEK!  The CRCT starts Wednesday morning.  DO NOT BE LATE!  We start testing at 8:55.

Please remember to send in 2 or 3 pictures for the slide show.  Scroll down for more detailed information.

SS:  Open book test for chapters 11 and 12 is Monday.

Have a wonderful weekend!

The Book Thief

We still have a couple students without permission slips.  Please send them in!  Notebook paper would be fine if you have lost the permission slip I gave you.
