Global Horizons: Fifth Grade- Foxworth & Bosch

I apologize for the lapse in posting.  The site went down and lost its template, so I was unable to get it to open in Explorer.  It’s been a busy week!  I was out on Monday on a trip to visit universities in Pennsylvania and Virginia with my daughter, who is preparing to apply for graduate school.  Mrs. Amick did a wonderful job of filling in!  
Students have been taking Cog-At testing this week.  It’s a test that measures thinking skills, not  content.  It only takes about 30 minutes each morning, and we will be finished tomorrow.  Block 1 began reading a book called Three Names by Patricia MacLachlan today.  Students are continuing to learn to monitor comprehension by writing notes about what they are thinking while we read.  Block 2 students worked in small guided reading groups.  Our spelling test will be tomorrow since we were out of school for Election Day.
