Greetings from Room 116!
We are officially done with our ELA MCAS!! Students worked very hard and put forth great effort during this first round of state testing. I was very proud of their focus and perseverance. The Math MCAS will be administered after April vacation on May 8th and 9th.
Here is a short summary of the rest of our week:
ELA: We wrote sequels to Cynthia Rylant’s When the Relatives Came.
Math: We finished Module 6 on Data and took our End-of-Module assessment. Next week we will begin to explore the concepts of Geometry and Perimeter.
Science/SS: We continued our Extreme Weather research projects. We also built and tested various parachute designs, using a variety of materials, to see which ones could effectively handle heavier loads. In addition, we created colonial personas and began construction of our replica village.
Other: We wrote articles and took photos for the first edition of our online newspaper The 116 Times.
Best wishes to all for a pleasant weekend!!
Most Sincerely,
Ms. Feeney
