Today was a terrific Tuesday! This morning we worked hard in drafting and editing our Language Arts on our Memoirs. Afterwards, we continued test-taking practice. We will do this for 30 minutes each day this week to prepare for the MEAP test next month. Your child does not need to do anything else to prepare! In the afternoon we visited united streaming.com and became water cycle experts. We even created our own water cycle picture with labels. Tomorrow we will take our knowledge to the science lab where we will create our own water cycle models. We can’t wait!
Thank you! Thanks to all of the families who supplied us with Ziploc gallon size bags! We have just enough!
