Thank you to all of our Grade 4 students for all their hard work getting ready for their Math test. We spent time today allowing students to work through the test at their own pace. Afterwards, students worked on assigned work in Mathletics and then this afternoon, in Language Arts. 

Thank you to all of our Grade 5 students for being so patient and kind today. It isn't easy to work from your seat quietly while another grade is writing a test. The Grade 4's did it for us last week and I was so proud that the Grade 5 reciprocated this week. Like the Grade 4's, Grade 5 students worked on assigned Mathletics work and then work in Language Arts. 

In Language Arts today, students were focused on finishing to type a paragraph that we have been working on. I am really excited that we are going to be publishing these paragraphs so that they can be shared with others, through our classroom website. Stay tuned for students' Google Sites where they will be creating a writing portfolio to share their work throughout the year. It will take us a while to get up and running, but I can't wait to see students finished work.
