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.

English
We are completing an adjective a-z picture book upon completion of the unit and will be due on Thursday, January 31st. This week we will also begin Unit 5, Capitalization and Punctuation.

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.

Math
We will be taking the checkpoint quiz as we have concluded Chapter 5 (p.220-221) on Wednesday, February 6th. Students will be completing a review before the Chapter 5 Test on Monday, February 11th.
