Box Tops & Labels for Education
Don’t forget to send in your Box Tops and Labels for Education each week! The PTA is doing a contest each month to see which class and student has the best participation! We want to win : )
Remind: In order to keep everyone updated and in attempt to reach the parents quickly, we are going to use Remind. It is an app/web based program that allows us to message you with reminders. We will still make sure things are written in their agenda but this allows Ms. Moore and Miss Wilson to get a hold of parents quickly. Please use this link to join: www.remind.com/join/e6a67g
Reading
We started our informational reading unit this week! We will continue with this after break. PLEASE make sure your kiddo is reading during break!! Remember that one of the best ways to help your kiddo become a better reading is by having them read every night. Some students haven't been filling out their reading log which tells us they haven't been reading. Please make sure you have your kiddo read about 20 minutes a night. Since I can never remember to give out a reading log, I attached one at the bottom of this blog :)
Writing
Our informational writing unit is done. We loved sharing our books today. Starting after break, we will be moving on to opinion writing! This is usually a fun unit to hear the kids argue their points!
Science/Social Studies
We wrapped up our economics unit this week! We took our pollution pre-test and introduced vocabulary. We will start our first PBL on pollution on Monday. This will be an exciting time. Please make sure you are sending those plastic tops and coke cans so that they can make some recycled projects in art! We need all different colors!

Math
Please make sure you have returned your signed test to us! This week we talked about patterns and multiplication. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE still continue practicing multiplication facts. We can not stress how important it is to know these facts. Everything builds off of those facts. We have noticed that many kids aren't studying their facts! We really need the kids to be studying those facts. The more successful they are with their fluency, the easier the rest of the year will be. We will be giving the kiddos plenty of tools and strategies to help make them successful but please know that we need your help as well.

A note from Mrs. Robson about Milestones:
- We are pleased to announce that a refreshed Experience Online Testing Georgia website is now available with a demonstration test for each of three grade bands – grades 3-5, grades 6-8, and high school – with sample items from each content area. While the 3-5 and 6-8 grade bands will contain Science and Social Studies items, please be reminded that these two content areas will be assessed in grades 5 and 8 only. The primary purpose of this website is to provide exposure to the online platform that students will utilize when taking the Georgia Milestones tests. The highlight of this year's refresh of the site are examples of multiple-part, multiple-select, and evidence-based selected-response items. As communicated, these item types will be operational beginning with the Winter 2016 End of Course (EOC) administration in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics and with the Spring 2017 End of Grade (EOG) and EOC. These item types will be field tested, for the first time, in Science and Social Studies in Spring 2017 for both the EOC and EOG. Items that are field tested do not impact the scores of students. In addition, questions 1-5 will illustrate the Reading & Evidence-Based Writing section of ELA.
