WOW!!!!
I am absolutely bursting with pride for how hard the 4th graders have worked this week on MSTEP testing!! They should be very proud of themselves. It has taken a serious amount of focus and stamina to complete the hours of ELA testing we have done so far. Give them some extra hugs this weekend :)
Of course we're only about 1/2 way there. Next week, the testing will continue with math and science. The last part of science testing will roll into the following week...then it's the 3rd graders turn to "show off all they've learned."
Quick reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday, May 5th
In the meantime, here's what we worked on this week:
