What a fun day at FAVE! We had the pleasure of having a cultural arts assembly this morning. We enjoyed the sounds and percussions of Ritmo Blu. They took us on a musical journey around the world. Students truly enjoyed this experience. I hope you enjoy the pictures from our day.
Homework: Read for 30minutes, Spelling (due tomorrow, and test tomorrow)
Don't forget about our Learning Celebration on Friday at 1:15. Students are excited to present for you and we are looking forward to looking back over the first half of the school year. We hope you can join us! Remember to sign in at the front desk before coming to the classroom and please do not block the bus lane or houses when you are parking.

We got a lot accomplished today!
We worked on decomposing fractions this morning and spent a significant amount of time working on fraction word problems. Students received fraction practice for homework tonight. They will be changing improper fractions to mixed numbers and the reverse. See the steps below to assist your child with their homework.
Students began working on their UOI Summative writing piece. We worked to develop a thesis statement and began providing reasons and supporting evidence.
We also practiced strategies for close reading using nonfiction text. Students looked a specific criteria that is important when reading nonfiction.
See you in the morning!

Happy Friday and what a week!
We have been so busy with MAP testing, summatives, and explorations. Students worked especially hard this week.
They performed really wonderfully on their American Revolution assessment today. I am extremely proud of how they prepared.
Ask your child about their exploration today. It was an exciting and fun time as they dispersed throughout the school to learn about and discover new things. Some students worked on fashion design and baking, while others worked with lego robotics and athletics. I know students enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to participating in them again in January.
Looking Ahead:
On Monday we will have our last day of MAP testing at 7:55 am. Please be sure that students eat a healthy breakfast and arrive to school on time. A good night of sleep is always a good idea.
Thursday we will be attending a cultural arts performance here at the school.
Friday at 1:15 we will be having our learning celebration. Please join us for a short performance and a look back at our year so far. Remember that parking is limited. Please do not block the bus lane or the houses in the neighborhood. Also, don't forget to sign in at the front desk before coming up to the classroom. We hope to see you all here!!!
Homework: Read for 30 minutes
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Please review the American Revolution information with you child tonight. The assessment will be tomorrow.
Enjoy your evening!
