State Reports are Underway!

The kids have started their state reports as of last week, and it's looking good! Everyone should have their maps and at least two drawings complete by now. The maps I have seen so far look terrific. Good job, students!

Speaking of the United States, the students have been working hard on their states and capitals quizes (one every week or two) and most have passed with flying colors. At least half of the 33 kids in class scored 100% on their last quiz, which included states and matching their capitals, AND spelling.

They are working towards the big geography test in April that will require them to not only name and label every state and capital in the U.S., but also spell them correctly and place the cities in the correct place. I have no doubt they will do a fabulous job! I am VERY impressed with all of the kids in class!

Please use your Spring Break wisely and work on your reports. They are due on April 21st, without fail!

Also, you should be working on your math packets, Chapters 8-21 this vacation, too. If you have not been keeping up with your weekly packets, you may have a lot of work ahead of you. Please complete the packets and turn them in on the Tuesday we are back in session! Trust me, they will help you ACE YOUR MATH TESTS!

P.S. You have a Chapter 21 math test on Friday. Please study and use your math packets! Chapter 21 is on multiplying fractions. If you have problems with the concepts in this chapter, COME SEE ME AT LUNCH and I will help you.
