PSSAs in 2 weeks!

Can you believe the PSSAs are almost here? We have two weeks until the PSSAs, and I am confident that the students are prepared! I attached picture of the students working extremely hard in their Learning Centers! Our centers were focused on Multiple-Meaning Words, Affixes, Synonyms and Antonyms, Fact and Opinion, Main Idea, Table of Contents, and Main Idea Cards. Please be sure to review the PSSA WORDS TO KNOW that are found on the pink worksheet sent home last week. We will be playing a big JEOPARDY Game with these words!


Important Reminder:
Parent Teacher Conferences are this Friday, so the students do not have school!

Report Cards and Valentine's Day!

We have some exciting things to look forward to this week! Report cards will be sent out on Friday. Please be sure to review the report card with your child, sign the envelope, and return it to school as soon as possible. Also, our Valentine's Day party is on Monday! Please be sure to make and decorate a Box or Bag with your child. Please send it into school by Friday. Please remember that candy is not permitted to be sent in for the party.

Over the past few weeks, I have taken some great action shots of the students working on some hands on activities. Enjoy!

Cause and Effect activity! The students had to match up the cause with the correct effect!




I wanted to find a fun creative way to practice our pronouns! I call this new game "Spit Ball Grammar" The students use wet cotton balls to hit the pronoun that fits in each sentence correctly!
