<em>Happy New Year!  I wish all of you a happy and healthy 2010.</em>

<em>For the next two months, our class will be studying/reviewing skills for the ISAT tests which will be given the first week in March.  Fourth graders are tested in Reading, Math and Science.  In addition to the regular work we do in class, we will also be working in the ISAT Math Book and the ISAT Science Book.  The Illinois State Board of Education has posted sample ISAT questions which will give you a good idea of what the tests are like:  <a href="http://metacat2.com/iltestlinks.html">http://metacat2.com/iltestlinks.html</a>  Also, we will not be doing weekly spelling words during this time.  Instead, we will be doing a daily analogy.   </em>

<em>Ms. Pickens has asked that I share the following information with you:  </em> Music homework will be handed out the week of January 11th.  The Quiz was administered the week of December 14th, 2009.  The Final Test will be the week of January 18th.  Students have received four study sheets to help them prepare for these assessments.

<em>Enjoy the week.</em>
