Dear Parents,
Iowa Test of Basic Skills will be given the week of February 4th. We will be taking these each day in the morning. This year we will only be testing math, reading and science which will cut the testing from five days to three. We will test Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. If you can send your child to school well rested, it will help them attend to the test for the full testing period. Thank you in advance. :)
I am looking for a couple of parent who would be willing to provide a healthy snack for us to eat during our break between tests. If you would be interested in sending snacks to school with your son or daughter we would greatly appreciate it. We have 20 students in our room and you may send the snacks any time.
We are wrapping up our study of the Northeast and the American Revolution and will be testing over this content next week. We will also start a nonfiction book about Harriet Tubman. Students seem to enjoy this type of reading and learn a lot about her life. We will relate this learning to our study of the Southeast in social studies. In addition to our study of Harriet Tubman we will watch a great video in social studies titled Brother Future. This is a video about slavery and what it was like day to day for the slaves. I encourage you to ask your son or daughter about it.
In math we have been working hard on larger number multiplication and most students are catching on quickly. We have been learning how to solve problems such as 176 x 7 and
134 x 37 in addition to division facts and division with remainders such as 15 divided by 4.
On another note, I’d appreciate if you’d check with your son or daughter about his or her pencil supply as many students are in need of pencils.
Thank you for your support,
Mrs. Hill
