NWEA Coming Right Up

I just wanted to thank everyone for your help with getting ready for ISTEP test. It was a big help that we had great attendance and that everyone seemed well rested and ready to test. I am proud of the way the students stayed focus throughout the week.

Now that we have that behind us and we are starting our normal schedule we run into NWEA testing. This is the test that we take a few times each year in the computer lab to monitor our progress in the different subject areas. We will be having three test over the next two weeks. One next week and two the following week.

I also wanted to share my excitement about the Social Studies activity we have been working on this week. We have been exploring ideas about what it would be like to start our own civilization. We have talked about what it would take to survive, rules we might need, necessities that we might need to deal with, and hardships we might need to overcome. I am excited to see where the discussions take us and what sort of society we can create.

This week I will hopefully be taking pictures of the class in action. I am hoping to get some shots of us working in the room as well as playing in gym or at recess. Be on the look out this weekend for those shots. I will also be posting a new survey questions please check it out and vote.
