The students did a great job getting through all of our Benchmark testing. We are back to a regular academic schedule this week.
On Friday, I will host my 6th Annual Superbowl Party for the 4th grade. Student invitations will be sent out on Wednesday, and we have been discussing how following classroom rules will earn each one of them the privilege to participate in this fun event. The day will be spent doing fun football activities that relate to our Math, Social Studies, Science, and ELA curriculum. I will provide some snacks for the whole class.
