What we’re doing!

 

Reading - We are currently reviewing all skills in preparation for the Reading TAKS Test on Wednesday, April 30, 2008.

               After the test is completed, we will be sharing a chapter book, delving into poetry, and studying the art of acting.

               These are others ways of writing that will be useful to the students as they progress through school.

 

Science – We are completing a unit on adaptations of plants and animals.  The beginning of May, students will pose a question,

                 make a hypothesis, set up their own experiment, observe and record data, draw conclusions, and share the outcome

                 on a science project board. The final presentation will be judged by judges outside of the classroom. The object of this

                 exercise is to expose them to the practical points of a scientific method, and to prepare them for project competitions

                 beginning in 5th grade.
