TCAP (formerly the CSAP)

The TCAP exam is coming soon! As we continue preparing and studying, please be sure to support your students at home by allowing ample time for homework, reading, and play. Also, starting each day with breakfast is vital to keeping those growing bodies and minds ready to learn. Help prepare your child by asking open ended questions about things they encounter every day and asking them to retell their stories after their nightly silent reading time.

Here are some practice websites for the TCAP:

PEN PALS

Through the non-profit organization "Friends Vision," we have sent our second letters. After receiving our first letters from our Kenyan pen pals, we got a chance to see all of their smiling faces! We created a bulletin board right outside our classroom so everyone could meet our pen pals!

iPADs

As our class has learned to use iPADs, we have begun making a number of projects related to our curriculum. Currently, we are working on publishing some poetry. But, before the poetry unit, we made nonfiction books in our own areas of expertise. Here are links to a few of the class' books!
