Monday will be a final review of math and reading strategies for testing taking, and small groups will address any last minute content concerns.

Tuesday & Wednesday - Testing 8am - 12pm. Lunch, ancillary, and recess will follow.

Thursday we will begin a two part life science project involving research of various biomes and the adaptations that help organisms thrive there.

Friday will be fully dedicated to working on the science project and exhibition papers' revising and editing. We will not have a POD, quizlet, or spelling quiz this week.

Note: We did not have time to take our spelling quiz this past Friday, 4/5. The list for that week will be used next week, and the quiz will take place on Thursday, 4/18... I expect very high grades :)
