Hopefully, this week will be "normal"in the blogging routine. Last week just kind of fell a part with all of the goofy events, days off, basketball, and Pentatonix concert:) (woo-hoo!)! So, I will get my act together and do what I can for you this week! Back on track, Sista'!
Here are a few pics of the events that took over our world last week!
 |
| Monday - STEM Day at Keystone in Elkader! |
 |
| Tuesday - First round of basketball at state in Des Moines! |
 |
| Wednesday (SNOW DAY), So Thursday - Perform for our 1st grade buddies. They perform for us. Then some snuggle and reading time for partners! |
 |
| Thursday - Sawyer shares with us his dentist experience! |
 |
| Always finding a way to bring real life into the classroom! This might have been TOO much real life...ICK! But totally cool to see! |
 |
| Thursday - Mrs. Sorenson makes it to Pentatonix concert at Luther! |
 |
| Friday- 5B vs 6th grade class on Book-Off! These are the winning books from the challenge! If you haven't read one of them, it would be a great list to start from ! |
 |
| Friday - Hunter (our 5B rep) beat out Taylor (6th grader) with his details and persuasive discussion about The Maze Runner |
So..That was LAST WEEK! What's in store for this week? Well, the kids know that the IA Assessments (formerly called ITBS) are coming this week. It's the one-time during the year, that we need to show our progress as readers and learners to the state. The way students perform on the IA Assessments is how the school gets it's report card. So, the best effort we all put into it, the better for everyone: Students, Parents, Teachers, Associates, Principals, Superintendents, etc. We will start by setting goals for ourselves on Monday and making a plan to reward ourselves WHEN we make the goals!
Tuesday's Tests:
Spelling, Capitalization, Punctuation, Math (Part 1)
Wednesday's Tests: (3 hour early out)
Reading (Part 1), Vocabulary
Thursday's Tests:
Reading (Part 2), Math (Part 2)
Friday's Tests:
Written Language, Math Computation
THEN, a SUPER, FUN-FILLED day is planned on this Friday, March 14 as a mini-STEM day taught by our very own 5th GRADERS! The students that went on the STEM Day trip last week learned a lot about different apps, websites and robotics. They are excited to teach you and give you the same experience they had! Isn't that awesome!? We'll also have people from Keystone helping us out as well! This will be a great way to end a hard-working week!
Ok.. I'll know you checked the blog if.... you watch this amazing video and tell me what you think of it! Tell me in the morning as you come in!
