Friday is test day and we took our reading and spelling tests. We didn't take a math test as we have just begun a new section on fractions. We did review the test we took before Christmas so the students could recall what we learned so long ago. Every morning we review these concepts and the language arts concepts. This should help the students be prepared for their ISAT tests as well as learn the information they need to write and speak well. We still have a lot of sickness so make sure everyone gets a lot of sleep and healthy food this week-end.
This afternoon, after show and tell, we learned about Kwanzaa, a holiday that celebrates the African American culture. We watched a short video, talked about the origins of Kwanzaa and then made a little mat that teaches the seven principles of Kwanzaa. The mats were a bit of a challenge, but they turned out nicely.
