Today was a crazy day! The air conditioner is broken in our classroom, so we had to do a lot of moving around to other different classes. Because I did not have all of my usual resources, both grades were not able to get new lessons in their math or science.

In both grades for science, they worked on their definitions for the next test. The test will be on Thursday, September 3. For 6th graders, it will cover lessons 1.5 and 1.6. For 5th graders, it will cover lessons 2.3-2.5. There were not many vocabulary words and a lot of students finished in class. They had to bring their books home to finish and also because we were not able to put them back in the regular classroom. This should be a big help to those who need the weekends to study. The students will still receive a study guide covering just a few more points that they will need to know for the test.

The math tests are on Tuesday. Some students had time to work on their study guides in class, but all students should be completing it over the weekend. In class on Monday, we will review the math lessons to prepare for the test. For the 6th graders, we were not able to fully cover 4-digit divisors, so that part will not be on this test. For 5th graders, we were not able to cover measures of weight, so that will not be on this test.

The heritage studies tests will be on Friday, September 4. They will receive the study guides at the beginning of next week.
