Math MCAS

Math MCAS are right around the corner!  As of right now we will be testing Monday, May 13th and Tuesday, May 14th.  A great way to review past concepts with your child is by having them log on to www.ixl.com.  Check out your child's progress and see the skills that they have mastered!  Just 20 minutes a day will make a difference!  As a class we have completed over 20,000 problems!  I'd love for us to complete 50,000  before the MCAS!  If we achieve that goal, I will give them a reward of their choice after the MCAS!
**Students should log on and go to reports.  Any skill that is not mastered, they should work towards mastering!

Food Adventures

Yesterday we had a nutrition program called Food Adventures.  They spent about an hour and a half in our classroom helping us make vegetable fried rice. Everyone had a job from chopping to mincing to cooking and cleaning.  Each group even had a head chief!  It was so fun to watch the students work with fresh ingredients and make such a delicious dish!  I am so proud of everyone who tried the vegetable fried rice.  I even heard a few students say they hope their parents would make it for dinner some night! Everyone received a recipe to take home so maybe it will become a family favorite!
