Well, it is here!! Can you believe it is MAP testing time already?  We enjoyed a wonderful kick-off assembly today.  We were able to "visit" Hollywood as tourists and meet several 'stars" along the way.  We reviewed the Stop, Think, Answer, Review strategy for testing and talked about the importance of getting a good night's sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, and drinking plenty of water.  We will be striving to Be on time, Be Prepared, and giving our Best Effort this week to earn the reward on Friday of a STAR bar and a chance to watch the BLT musical. 

Students should have brought home the past two math tests tonight to make corrections.  Please sign to let me know that you have seen them and return them tomorrow for 1/2 credit.  Also, since the students just met with Mr. Moore today about their Science Fair project, I have extended the next deadline to Tuesday, April 12.  They have the green packets now.  MAP testing begins Tuesday...please check the parent/student pages for links to MAP information.

Lots of preparation for MAP testing going on in fifth grade.  We are doing review packets in Comm. Arts and Math daily.  We are also taking practice tests and discussing how to make our answers the very best they can be.  We are busy, busy, busy!  Science fair boards have been delivered and should have come home today. 
We have a quiz over metric conversions tomorrow.  The students will need to reproduce the graphic that they brought home tonight to study.  Then, we will be completing the study guide over measurement tomorrow and we will test over all measurement concepts on Thursday. 
A big thank you to the parents who recently sent clorox
