Upcoming Tests & Quizzes (updated schedule)

Hello families, happy Tuesday!

In consultation with the fourth grade team, I've decided to adjust our test schedule a bit for this week and next. Updated test dates are listed as below. (We've also discussed most of these as a class.)

Our first big geography test on European countries is tomorrow, September 13, as the students should be well aware. Please note that they will ONLY be tested on the list of countries sent home today (Tuesday) for final review. (These are the same countries we've labeled on the map at a rate of 2-4 countries per day for the past few weeks.) Thank you for helping your children study the countries at home!

Here's that link again to some helpful online games for memorizing European countries. 

Wednesday, September 13: 
  • Spalding mini-quiz on just seven words (this is an usual Spalding week -- we will not have a test this Friday)
  • European Map Test 
Thursday, September 14:
  • Math Test on factors and multiples
  • Science mini-quiz
Friday, September 15:
  • History Test on the Byzantine Empire
  • Grammar Quiz on parts of speech (noun, verbs, adjectives, article adjectives, adverbs) and labeling/diagramming sentences with just those components
  • NO SPALDING TEST
Monday, September 18:
  • Science Test on Electricity
