Thursday and serious spring fever

A classroom of rude children somehow replaced the angels I am used to seeing today. If you sent the wrong child to class today, be sure to send the correct child on Friday. It would be much appreciated.

We spent a good deal of our day reviewing and practicing with STAR testing formats for next week. Again, language tests will be next Tuesday and Thursday, with the math portion of the exam on the same days the following week. Practice exams were discussed and corrected whole class. Look for them in Monday's folders.

Friday brings us a school-wide spirit day. Sports is the theme. We will be having a classroom picnic in the park next to the school at lunchtime.

We began looking at the layers of the Earth today and how volcanoes contribute to the changing of our landscape. I had to cancel the science experiment because of the classroom attitude today. The students were not going to be rewarded with a fun and tasty experiment with the behavior that was evident today. We may try it on Friday if behavior merits it.

The students are responisble for the following materials tonight:

-Reading Log (due)
-Math Subtraction Fractions 8-3 & 8-4
-comma page 89, 88 was completed in class

Respectfully, Mr. B
