My Vacation to Arches National Park!!!!

Did you watch the movie The Hulk? Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Both movies filmed at this National Park. It was absolutely beautiful and very hot. It was 104 degrees when we were hiking through the park. We had to bring lots of water, sunscreen, and bug spray. What do you think, would you like to go here someday???

Cherished Memories

Great Expectations
It's time to say, "Good-bye."
Our year has come to an end.
I've made more cherished memories
And many more new friends.
I've watched your children learn and grow
And change from day to day.
I hope that all the things we've done
Have helped in some small way.
So it's with happy memories
I send them out the door,
With great hope and expectations
For what next year holds in store.

Much Love,

Ms. Davis

Improper Fraction to Mixed Number

Check out the new video about fractions on the math page!

We are starting to think about OAKS (Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) assessment!

OAKS CHANT
We know how to take a test,
We know how to do our best.
Listen carefully, then we do,
What the directions tell us to.
Do not hurry, do not rush,
Doing our best our teachers gush.
Check our answers to make them right,
I am smart and I shine bright!
Read the stories, read the lines,
Remember always take your time.
Take the time to think and plan
Tell yourself, “Yes I can!”
I will show what I can do,
I will show it all to you.
The OAKs test is what we take,
Reaching high for scores we make.
We know our stuff, yes we do!
Reading, math and science too!
We will do our very best!
We’ll score high on our OAKs tests!

ELPA Chant (English Language Proficiency Assessment)

ELPA CHANT
We know how to take a test,
We know how to do our best.
Listen carefully, then do,
What the directions tell you to.
Do not hurry, do not rush,
Do not speak in a low hush.
Say your answers right out loud,
You are smart and you are proud!
Read the stories, read the lines,
Remember always take your time.
Take the time to think and plan
Tell yourself, “Yes I can!”
I will show what I can do,
I will show it all to you.
ELPA is the test we take,
5’s the score we want to make.
We know English, yes we do!
And we want to prove it, too!
We will do our very best!
We’ll score high on the ELPA test!
