The Week of April 22, 2019

We’ve come to the last week of GMAS testing!  The test will take place Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Please see the classroom calendar link to know who is testing each day.  Because of the schedule, you will not have word study or vocabulary lists.  Lessons will take place after testing each day, and will focus on our novel studies, geometry concepts, and sentence analysis.

Have a nice LONG weekend!
Mr. Trent

The Week of April 7, 2019

This week our schedule will be quite different from normal.  5th graders will be taking the GMAS test this week.  Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be the Language Arts section of the test. Thursday and Friday you will complete the math section.  4th and 6th graders, while you do not have testing this week, you will have some daily required assignment to complete each day.  You will get these works each morning and they will be due by the end of each day.  In the afternoons, we will have our novel studies and other review lessons. You will not have any word study or vocabulary words this week.

See you Monday morning,
Mr. Trent
