Weekly Update, May 15th, 2016

Hopefully you and your family were able to enjoy some of the much needed sunshine this weekend!!  We have less than a month of school left, and your kids have been reviewing hard for our Virginia studies test.

This week in academia...

Virginia studies: As a reminder, the SOL assessment will be Tuesday, May 17th at 10:15 am.  We will spend a lot of time reviewing tomorrow through various activities and review games.  The SOLpass Review is due Tuesday (the schedule of all the activities and games with your initials).

Reading: Students will review all concepts we've learned throughout the year as we continue to prepare for the SOL assessment at the end of the month.  Students are still expected to read nightly, and summarize their reading on their reading log.  (New reading logs will go home tomorrow.)

Writing: Students will practice with their word study words from last week and will have their test on Friday, May 20th.  Students are expected to know the meanings of the affixes from their packet that was given out last Monday.

Science: Yay!  It's back!  We will begin learning about plants starting on Wednesday.
