MathThis week I took back over math and we covered graphing inequalities on the number line, how to write equations for patterns, and how to draw pictures and write an equation for story problems. We reviewed Topic 15 and tested over it today. I hate to test at the same time we are ISTEP+ testing, but thats how the schedule falls. Our next topic that we will begin on Monday will be over ratios and percents.

ScienceWe did not do any Science this week. I will

Note From the Teacher: Next week we will finish up ISTEP+ testing on Monday and Tuesday by taking the Social Studies multiple choice tests. Testing will be from 8:30-9:30 each morning. Please ensure that your child is here on time each morning, rested, and fueled with breakfast so that they will be ready for the test! Miss Bickels last day with us is Thursday, May 15. She will be finished with her student teaching experience. The students and I want to do something special for her. I sent home a pink letter on Tuesday explaining our teacher shower idea. I will buy a teacher tote and Im hoping I can get your help in filling it with any item, office or school related, that she might be able to use in her own classroom. Notes and cards would also be great! We will have our party for her on the 15th. You can send in any gifts/notes up until then. Shhhhhhh keep it a secret!
