"March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb."
Well, we have had plenty of lion weather this year! In Circle Time, we learned this phrase and the kids tried to figure out the meaning of that phrase.
In math, we will be finishing up our introductory unit on money and time with a test tomorrow. The students brought home a practice test to review with you at home. Please continue their learning at home by helping your child count out change, sort coins, or purchase small items.In science, our class will be preparing an invention to display at our school science fair. The students will collaborate with Mrs. C to come up with something great! Stay tuned for more info on that.
If you have older students who attend public schools in Maryland, you know that the Maryland State Assessment (or MSA's) are coming up soon. At High Bridge, 3rd through 5th graders will be involved in testing for the next several weeks. The MSA's are hugely important tests, and classes have been gearing up for this for months. Well, when I came across this cute video, I couldn't pass up sharing it with you! This is a video of students at Forest Heights Elementary (located in our county) encouraging test-takers to do their best on MSA's. If you have older students (or know someone who does), please check out this video and pass it along. Enjoy!
