April 28, 2017 Weekly Update

Hello families!

I am so excited for the circus this weekend, and I know the kids are as well!  We are still looking to fill a couple of spots on our SignUp Genius the last time I checked, so if you are available for the slots listed, please don't be shy!  Thanks to everyone who has worked hard to make this event special!

By the way, our raffle basket looks AMAZING!!!  It is definitely a front-runner that has gotten a lot of votes from the students today.

One more thing:

MAP testing is next week!

We will be testing Monday-Thursday.  Please make every effort to make sure your child is at school, rested, and on-time.  We will begin testing at 8:35 each day, so students will have time to get breakfast (if they eat at school) and come down to the room to get ready for testing.

Please have a talk with your child about the importance of trying their best, and taking their time!  It is not a race!

We will be having afternoon recess at 1:30 each day to make up for missing the morning recess, and we have some fun activities planned next week.

 I will be looking for students who are giving their best effort, have a great attitude, and taking their time/checking over their work.  I know every student is capable of doing great on this test!

We will not be having reading logs or spelling next week due to MAP testing.

I think that's about it for this week.  If you have any questions about testing, please feel free to contact me!

Have a great weekend!
