Tuesday - finish up magnets Wednesday - hand out study guide for test Thursday - test on magnets (NOT OPEN BOOK) 5th Grade: Tuesday we will be working on conductors and insulators. We are finishing up the unit on Properties of Matter and will begin the Energy on Earth. They also took home the final amount owed for Washington today on a slip of paper. If you have questions please feel free to email me or call.
Wednesday, September 27: 4th grade: Mr. Erskine's homeroom received their social studies test back. They have to have them signed as their homework for tonight.
5th Grade: Properties of Matter science test tomorrow.
Tuesday, September 26: 4th grade homework: Read pages 30-35 in your science textbook about "When Magnet Meets Magnet."
Also the 4th grade in my homeroom have their Social Studies test tomorrow. This is open book and they must spell everything correctly to get credit for their answer. Anything not spelled correctly will be counted wrong. I have told the students this and I expect if it is in the passage, they should spell it correctly also.
Monday, September 25: I was so busy today that I forgot to post this! Schoolnotes was acting funny, so I posted the test information on my website.
4th Grade will have a social studies test tomorrow for Mr. Erskine's homeroom. I gave them a study guide today and gave them time in class to work on it and ask questions. They will be able to use their notebook, but NOT their study guide. Mrs. Carder's homeroom will have their test on Wednesday.
5th grade will have their unit test probably on Thursday. I will have a better idea on what we get finished tomorrow.

4th Grade: The students received their science test back on Friday. This test is to be signed and will count as a homework grade.
