Week of April 29-May 3

 

We had a wonderful turn out at open house! It was great to see all the families and the students! I hope you had a great time seeing all the things we have accomplished!

Next week begins our last round of MAP’s testing. The Reading test will be on Tuesday at 8:05 and the Math test will be on Wednesday at 9:15. Please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and eats a healthy breakfast so they are ready for the tests.

We have started Junior Achievement. We have had the opportunity to have Mrs. M come to our class once a week to teach us all about our city.

Thank you for donating to the treasure chest! We have been running low, if you would like to donate treasures, please feel free to send them in whenever.

We will be having a test on chapter 14 on Wednesday, May 1. Students can study their packets over the weekend. Another great way to study is: draw various types of triangles and quadrilaterals and have your child name all the names for those figures. We will also be starting divide by 9’s. The test for divide by 9 will be Friday, May 3.
