AIMS Assessment officially begins this week when we take the Writing assessment on Wednesday. Make sure to get plenty of sleep on Tuesday night and eat a good breakfast that morning. Drinking a glass of water before coming to school will also help your mind to be laser-focused for the assessment.
In addition to the Writing assessment, we will also be reading about the famous painter Chuck Close. The story of his life is almost as amazing as his painting. In Science, we will continue to learn about animals in their ecosystems and proofread, revise, and publish our work about owl pellets. Hold on tight, it’s going to be busy week!
