What We're Learning this Week! {April 10th-14th}

On Monday, after a week off, we are ALL in on prepping for the K-PREP test. In Math, we began our testing review packet that Mrs. Elliott created, focusing on the hardest and most difficult standards. We picked a good name for this year's booklet. Last year's 5th grade chose to "Hulk Smash" the test! Because this year's students are obsessed with Matilda, specially the Trunchbull, we decided we were going to "Trunchbull the Test"! Students even chose which picture they wanted represented on the cover! LOL

Tuesday in Reading it was time for our Spring MAP assessment, the final one for the year. W decided to tackle this assessment a little differently this time and opted to take the test in the classroom using Chromebooks!
 


After during our daily "Trunchbull" on Wednesday, we focused our attention to Social Studies and reviewed by playing various Social Studies games! We reviewed over topics such as the United States, Explorers, Landforms, the World, and Native Americans. Who says reviewing can't be fun!?

Events coming up this week include:
Monday, April 10th - MAP Spring Assessment {Reading}
Wednesday, April 12th - STLP State Competition
