Practice Tests Complete

After a week of practice tests, I think everyone is happy to be finished. We reviewed all three tests together as a class. Overall, our class was most successful on the reading test. I look for everyone's scores to improve in math since students have been focusing on number sense and have not yet touched data analysis, geometry or fractions. In the writing area, editing for
misspelled words and improper grammar will definitely need to be addressed, as well as writing to express feelings.

Next Week:
Science: Weather

Reading Story: Eye of the Storm

Homework: Spelling 50 points and packet
