Congratulations to Hunter for being our orange card winner of the week! Also, congratulations to Dannie for receiving a good news call for his efforts in making good choices and for being such a hard worker!
Our Spelling Bee was a big success! The students really enjoyed the format of the Bee. To go along with our study of the Olympics, everyone was rewarded a medal for their efforts. The students all agreed that they would like to hold another Spelling Bee in the future!
We are making our final preparations for our ISAT tests which will be administered the first week of March. I will be sending home the testing schedule and an explanation of our week on Monday. There is also a list of our testing schedule on the Coming Attractions page of this website. Please make every effort to make sure your child gets plenty of rest and a good breakfast the week of our testing. Please assure your child to do their best and not to worry. It will be done before we know it!
We will be finishing up our unit on measurement next week in Science. In Math, we will be covering several topics that will need to be learned before the ISATS. We will have a unit test in Reading on Wednesday to complete the first unit in our second book. We will taking a "mock" test on Friday to show the students what the actual testing will be like. It will be timed and cover all the concepts in Math that we have covered so far. I hope that this will ease some of the worries that some of the students are experiencing.
