Math Unit Test

Our day started with descriptive writing again. Students used the brainstorm they created yesterday to write a descriptive paragraph that incorporates a topic sentence, and descriptive detail sentences using verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs.

Students used today’s math time to write their unit test on number patterns.

Students that did not need extra time to write the test got extra time to work on their electric car. Cars are coming home today. Students are asked to work on them over the weekend and to try get to the stage where they can conduct the first test. Observations during the first test are to be recorded in the design portfolio. Students should think of ways to improve their car or solve issues they are having with their car. Please return cars on Monday, in order to conference with me to tell me about difficulties and successes that are being experienced as well as next steps.









We begin a new inquiry unit on Monday. If possible, students are asked to come to school dressed as an Egyptian on Friday. Suggestions are a plain bedsheet and eyeliner – for boys too.

Look out for after-school program letters coming home today. Picture Day forms are also coming home today. Finally, November lunch forms are coming home today. Please sign and return whole numbers tests if you have not already done so.
