One set of exams down, one to go! 3-509 has been working hard, and is ready to take the State Math Exams this Wednesday-Friday (April 22nd-24th). Like last week, please encourage the kids to get to bed at a good hour, eat a great breakfast, and arrive with enough time so sprinting up to the 5th floor is not needed. We will start each day at 9:00 am.
The only assignment I am asking students to complete is to finish problems #14-24 in Book 2, Practice Test 2 this evening and to read each day for enjoyment over the course of the rest of the week.

CURRICULUM
Reading: This week we are launching our next reading unit- Mystery Book Clubs! We are thrilled to dive back into fiction. This week we are learning how to study our characters to grow ideas and theories, and how to pay attention to the setting to find clues.
Writing: This week we are taking our poetry work out once more! After reflecting on possible anthology themes, students are selecting their top 4-6 poems that fall under their categories. This week we are using a variety of checklists to revise and edit their work. By early next week we are publishing.
Math: We are finishing up our marathon training to prepare for this week's exams. Next week we are launching our Data and Graphing Unit.
Have a great week!
Ms. Bouchard
