Weekly News: Week 21

This week Mrs. Davidson visited and we created self-portraits, but the challenge was to not pick up our pencil. We tried to complete our picture with one continuous movement! Students then chose to fill in their portraits with patterns in red, yellow, and blue. They turned out pretty great!

On Thursday we took a science test with Ms. Britto and the Mid Module 4 test! It was a busy day but taught us a lot about studying and prioritizing. A great skill to learn for middle school. The Mid Module test is available in OARS to review. Just sign in with your child's information.

We also had our first week of "Mentor Sentences." We are using great sentences from literature to learn more about author's voice, grammar, punctuation, and much more! This will be a weekly event from now on, with quizzes on Fridays.
