Math News
We have worked hard this week in taking the MAP math test and learning all about fractions. Everyone did a great job on the MAP test. Almost everyone met their goal and even exceeded their goal. There were a few that didn’t meet their goal, but they still showed growth from the Fall--so I am very proud of all of them!
We will take the Topic 12 test on Tuesday. Students will review on Monday. Any extra practice this weekend will definitely help them. The main thing they might need extra help with is simplifying fractions and changing between a mixed number and an improper fraction.
Remember, Study Island is a great resource for review of any and all math concepts.
Don’t forget to encourage your child to complete their ALEKS topics each week. This is a great way to get up to 10 extra credit points each week.
Science News
We began our light unit this week with a lot of explorations. Students were given many different items and some flashlights so that they could explore light. We made some claims and wrote evidence for those claims. We will continue learning about light next week.
Those students who received a piece of poster board today for their final draft of the poster contest will need to have those to me no later than Tuesday of next week. They will also need the entry form filled out and turned in with them. I will be mailing them or having them delivered on Wednesday.

Field Trip Information
We go on our trip to Charleston this coming Wednesday. Students need to start arriving at about 6:10am. We have a 6:30 departure time so that we don’t miss the boat to Ft. Sumter. All children must bring a bagged lunch from home. Please make sure to label everything. Students may want to bring a small bag with a book to read while on the bus. They will leave them on the bus while we are in Charleston. Please--no electronics. We will be back around 4:00 or 4:15. Please let us know if you have any questions.
