Math - We completed timed tests in addition, multiplication and subtraction.  This trimester, to get a 3, students will have to complete 30 problems.  A 4 is 40 problems, and a 5 is 50 and higher.  We will complete many practice tests.  You will see the scores online, but the practice tests are not scored.  Tuesday, we will complete our division speed test.  You can practice drills by going to my Symbaloo page on your computers and going to the math Symbaloo.

LA - We filled out reading interest surveys and set our reading goals for the trimester.  Students are required to read at least 15 minutes per night on their own, along with the 20 minutes we do in class every day.
