Week of February 4th
IOWA TESTING
Next week we will be giving IOWA tests. It is important that your child has a good night of sleep and eats a healthy breakfast every morning. It is also important that your child be on time to school because we will be beginning to test first thing every morning. If your child is late and we have begun the test they will have to sit in the office until we are finished with the test. Therefore, they will have to make the test up at a later point in time.
READING
This week we continue to prepare for ISAT testing. We will be reading a non-fiction story and work on multiple choice questions. We also will focus on extended response questions. Ask your child what they need to do with an extended response question.

LANGUAGE ARTS
We continue to work on persuasive writing. Last week we focused on pro/con side of wearing
uniforms to school. Ask your child which side they were on. This week your child will write their very own persuasive essay on who they think should be best relative of the year.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In lesson 2, we will learn that the contributions of a wide variety of people helped the Continental Army win important battles. Hungry, sick, and poorly outfitted, the Americans lost several battles to the British. Winning a battle of Trenton, however, gave the Americans
hope.
SCIENCE
This week we will learn about condensation and dew point. We will observe the process of
condensation. Last we will find the dew point of the air.
MATH (Mrs. Napolitano's Class Only)
