Travel Log Update

Each day we are excited to check the mailbox for postcards.  So far we have received postcards from 18 states and 2 countries!  Ask your child about our Travel Log Project.  If they have not heard from the first person you sent it to, you might want to call or send an e-mail to make sure they received your child’s Travel Log.

Aloha from ISAT Island...

It may be cold outside, but it's warm here at ISAT Island.

Today was day #3 of ISAT testing.

We took two more tests:

Reading Session 3 (20 multiple choice questions) & Math Session 2 (30 multiple choice and 3 short response)

Here are a few more Hawaiian words we've been learning as we walk down the hallways...

We are wearing BLUE to "attack the ISAT"

Don't forget...

Thurs-Yellow:  "The Sun is Setting on the ISAT"

Fri- Orange or Hawaiian:  "Orange you glad we finished the test?"

Agriculture

Monroe County Farm Bureau is celebrating National Agriculture Month during March.
All fourth graders are participating in an Agriculture Poster Contest.

Monday's theme: GREEN  See all the green shirts and camo (green) pants?!

Miss Liefer's class is ready!

Friday we read the book Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! it is the last book Dr. Seuss was writing when he died.  Jack Prelutsky finished writing it for him and got it published. It is the PERFECT book to read before ISAT.  It’s all about state testing and to relax because we taught you how to think.\
Here's a YouTube video link I found of the book if you want to listen to it again.



"Take a deep breath
go with the flow
just do your best
show what you know"
