Have a great night!

This is a busy week because we have MAP testing every morning. There are a few things that you can do to be prepared for it...

1. Get a good night's sleep!
2. Eat a good breakfast tomorrow and Wednesday morning.
3. Drink plenty of water.

These tests can help me to better teach the students in my class. It is important that you do your best work on these now and in the spring.

Here is today's homework:

Spelling: WB p. 29-30
Math: WB p. 11
Reading: Read the article in the Weekly Reader and respond to it with the Writing an article worksheet. (We worked on this in small groups)

Have a good night!
