The students were completing a character web based on Uncle Romie. He is a character from this week's story. They only read half the story so they have yet to completely understand him as a character.

End of the 3rd Quarter
The end of this quarter is upon us (March 18th, Friday). It is hard to believe we only have a one quarter to go. We will be tying up loose ends this week and then getting ready to start our last grading period. Recently we have had a lot of students not finishing assignments both in class and at home. Please check book bags, ask questions, and stay on your child when it comes to turning in assignments.
Thank you for the support,
Mr. Burgette

Phases of the Moon
As you know the students have a March calendar that they are filling out with the phases of the moon on each day. It is their job to draw the moon and label the type each day of the month. We have discussed the fact that if they don't see the moon they can look it up on the computer to find the phase.
Here is a link to the current phase of the moon:

Parent/Teacher Conferences
It is that time of year again. We will have Parent/Teacher Conferences at the end of this month (March 30/March 31). I am sending a sheet home today for parents to sign-up. I ask that you sign-up for two spots in case one is already taken.
ISTEP
We completed the first session of ISTEP today. The test went well. After watching the students take it and looking at the skills they needed to complete the questions, I feel good that the students had all the tools to finish the math portion.
Tomorrow we will take the writing prompt portion of the test. The students will be given a writing prompt and asked to write to that prompt. We have created a chart this school year and referred back to it numerous times. The chart is called "What Makes a Good Response?". I look for big things to come.
Thursday will be a day of responding to questions asked about a reading passage. The students must support their answers with details from the passage. They will also have a shorter writing section in this session.
Also Thursday we will take the Science portion of the ISTEP in the afternoon. This is a test where the students must pull from a lot of real world knowledge.
