I'm Sorry

I am SO sorry that I have neglected the blog for the past MONTH! Things get a little hectic once spring starts and we focus on OAKS testing and getting everybody ready to move up to fifth grade. I promise to get back to our weekly routine!

I have missed two STAR OF THE WEEK students. I feel awful! So here they are in all their shining glory!

Lizzie shared some fabulous family photos (do you see the alliteration there?)! She is so sweet and did a great job presenting about herself.

Celeste also did a nice job presenting her STAR OF THE WEEK pictures and items! We learned all about her love for horses and her family. Great job, Celeste!

Reading
We continue to work on comprehension strategies. Right now we are focusing on finding the cause and effect in the texts we read. We finished all of our OAKS testing and I'm really proud of our class and the effort they put in. Testing is strenuous and stressful for some students and they all really did a good job.

Math
We just finished our first round of OAKS for math. Be on the lookout for letters coming home about round two. In the mean time we are moving forward with learning new strategies for division.

Coming Soon
AURORA FIELD TRIP ON MAY 6! Please remember to have your student at school no later than 7:30 on Tuesday, May 6. Also you will need to arrange transportation for them after school because we will not return until 3:20. Thank you!
