We have had a very quiet week since upstairs has been taking the TAKS test all week.  In math we are still learning about geometry.  We took a mid-chapter check on Tuesday.  Next week we will take the chapter test which will include two and three-dimensional shapes.  We also took our spelling test this week.  The students will be getting their new words tomorrow.  In writing we have been doing a plan and write.  Our topic is “Imagine one day you were at school and the power went out.  Write about what it would be like.”  In reading we most of the literature circles are finishing up their chapter books.  The students have also been doing running records for me so that I can see where their reading level and fluency rate currently is.  We also have reviewed summaries this week and wrote a summary today over the book A Bad Case of the Stripes.  We have had a very busy week.  Don’t forget to bring your towels tomorrow to sit on when we eat lunch outside.
