Let the testing begin..... Make sure we cowboy and cowgirl up!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.  We have had some crazy days these past 2 weeks. 

Earthworks is TOMORROW!!! We will be leaving around 8 and be back around 4.  Don't forget to pack a healthy non-wasteful lunch!  I encourage you to pack your child's lunch in their regular lunch bag and to not use sandwich baggies.  Aluminum foil is recyclable and just using your regular reusable containers is totally acceptable. 

Some of your children have started testing.  Others will be after spring break.  Please make sure your child is getting adequate sleep at night and a healthy breakfast.  We have a western assessment theme this year .  We are doing test preparation groups in the morning while the other students are testing.  I found a great math site to help with practicing.  I have also listed it in the resources box to the left.  http://www.ixl.com/math/standards/kansas/fourth This gives you practice for each individual indicator for the assessment.  Later today I will post the tested indicators so you can work with your child as well.

If anyone knows of a great reading practice website please feel free to share!! I'm always up for ideas! 

Take home task is due on Friday and the test is Friday as well.

Our skill this week is plural nouns.
Most nouns are made plural by adding
-s.  Nouns ending in s,sh,ch,x,and z are made plural by adding –es.  Nouns ending
with consonant –y are made plural by
changing the y to i before adding the es.
Nouns ending in –f or –fe are made plural
by changing the f to a v and adding the es.  Some nouns stay the same, and others
change the base word completely.
parent—parents
class—classes
family—families
half—halves
deer—deer
mouse—mice
