It was a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY in room 204! In the morning we explored the wonderful world of adjectives…and even adopted some of our favorite ones. We also found out what Tim and Moby thought of them on BrainPop. Adjectives really help enliven our writing, and we decided that things would be pretty mundane without them! During third grade math, we took our first timed addition test. Tonight it will come home with the unit math test for you to see and sign. After a delicious lunch we reviewed for our sound test to be given on Monday. In the afternoon, we completed designing our musical instrument and enjoyed Ed Tech! Have a great night!
Here’s what we have for you tonight:
MEAP Update: Our students will be taking the rest of the MEAP test on October 16th, and 21st. You will want to avoid making doctor’s appointments on those days. On those days, your child will be testing for most of the day. The state mandates that if your child leaves in the afternoon, he/she will have to start over on the test when there is a makeup day. If your child is not here in the morning and arrives in the afternoon, he/she will have to wait for a makeup day to complete that day’s test. We will not have our regular 9:30am snack time on MEAP daysL Your child will have a chance to eat a snack at 8:30am and then will not be able to eat until lunch at 11:00am. Please help your child prepare a good breakfast and get a good night’s sleep for each testing day! In addition, it is important for your child to have reading material that he/she is interested in. If your child finishes the test early, the only thing he/she can do during that testing time is read.
