We are starting a Forces of Motion
unit. Hopefully they will be looking
for Newton’s Laws all around!! Most
science homework will be finding and
explaining the laws to you! ;) You’re
welcome!
Testing dates have been released.
We will take the science EOG the
Friday before Memorial Day 5/27,
ELA Wednesday 6/1 and Reading
Thursday 6/2. Please do what you
can to be here so we don’t have to do
make-ups!
Don’t forget to study those states
and capitals! They really love
watching a youtube video called Tour
the States. They love singing along!
There are games on my website to
help!
Perfect Spellers (WAY TO GO!)
