Welcome to March!  We have ISAT testing beginning this week.  Here is our schedule:

Monday, March 3rd: Reading Test 1 at 2:00 p.m.
Tuesday, March 4th: Math Test 1 at 9:15 a.m.
Tuesday, March 4th: Reading Test 2 at 2:00 p.m.
Wednesday, March 5th: Math Test 2 at 9:15 a.m.
Thursday, March 6th: Math Test 3 at 9:15 a.m.
Tuesday, March 11th: Reading Test 3 at 2:00 p.m.

If your child is sick one of these days and needs to make up a test we will be holding make-up sessions throughout the 2-week testing window (3/3-3/14).  The designated make-up days are Thursday, March 13th & Friday, March 14th, but if the schedule allows they may possibly make up a test sooner.  Please make every effort to have your child here at school on time every day (unless they are ill!).

Please help your child by ensuring that they have enough rest each night, as well as a healthy breakfast, snack, and lunch each day.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

SCIENCE-We will finish up our study of the human body this week and test on Friday.  A unit review will be forthcoming.  On Thursday, the entire fifth grade will participate in the final "Survival" style end to the human body UbD project to see which body system will be "kicked off" the "island" and which body system is the winner.

LITERACY-We'll continue to work on close reading activities this week using a variety of nonfiction resources.

Please return the Robert Crown Life Begins permission slip if you haven't done so.  

Have a great Dolphin week!
