*Reading – a few groups have completed their reading circles and we are waiting on one group to complete their book. We have begun to talk about the ITBS test that will begin in the second week of May. I will be reviewing reading passages that the students can expect to see on the ITBS. We will talk about test strategies when reading a passage and then answering comprehension questions.

*Social Studies – we continue to try and wrap up our Explorer projects. We will go on tomorrow reading about Explorers and Fur Traders.
*In LA we will have begun to talk about what makes for a good persuasive writing. We will continue with that this week.
*Please continue to look at and sign planners. I am still seeing many planners not signed.
*If your child is still gathering information on their Explorer you can be informed that they are now behind on the project. I will post the expectations of that project as well.
Have a great week!!
