This week is filled with administering the state assessment. It is difficult going from a day of fun filled, learning to these grueling days of testing. We are having light and fluffy afternoons though. Most of the kids are not returning to my room; however, those that do are taking advantage of computer time, movie time, and simple games. We finish up the testing on Monday next week. That leaves me with only 3 days of instructional time because they are off for teacher in-service that Friday. I plan to spend that time doing a lot of superspeed along with a unit on poetry. Writing poems using oral writing first just might be fun!
Stay tuned for our last week in March. I am planning a March Madness where the 3rd and 4th graders duel against each other for the Super Whole Brain Students. I still have to firm up the plans for that week, but we are looking at scoreboard, homework points, super improvers, maybe a mind soccer (or mind basketball) match. Maybe we can even get parts of it on video! Keep checking back!
