Weekly news

Dear Families,

My greeting for the students today: Good morning great students and HAPPY NO TESTING!

We are finally finished with NECAP testing (excluding students who have sessions to make up) so things can get back to normal.

Fortunately, we’ve had the chance to do some fun learning too. We have had another visit from the SMILEDOCS, we’ve been working hard on completing our current teamtime project, and we’ve done some great reading. Students are enjoying the reader’s theater skits that they’ve been working on. Ask them about their group, what the “Big Idea” of their skit is, and how they practice it.

Additionally, you may have heard your child come home and talk about the Discovery Education Science website that we attempted to log on to this week. We all are excited to do some of our Human Body learning using this great website. Students may also log on at home. Here is the link: http://streaming.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm

Reminder: This week is the last chance for students who haven’t yet passed map quiz one to pass. Next week, we will start studying map 2 which is memorizing and labeling the 50 states!!

v One more attempt: We are in need of nice (soft) tissues and liquid hand soap. If you would like to donate either/both of these to our classroom, we would greatly appreciate it. THANKS!!

Again, please don’t hesitate to call or email with any questions or comments.

Question this week: Would you like for your child to have homework that is completed on the computer? IS this even possible in your house?
