I hope everyone got to get out and enjoy the spring weather this weekend. I am hoping that it is here for good! I have listed below some important reminders about things coming up in our classroom:
- 3rd grade has won a grade level reward to sit where they want in the lunchroom tomorrow (Tuesday, April 24th). In order to make this work, 3rd grade will be having their lunch at 10:00am. Students should still bring a snack as we will have our snack time in the afternoon. If you are planning on checking your child out tomorrow or dropping them off late, please know that they are eating lunch at 10:00am instead of our usual time at 12:00pm. Please let me know if you have any questions!
- Our Energy Test will be tomorrow. Please make sure your child studies tonight.
- My math class' Time Test will be on Friday.
- Zoo Permission slips and money are due on Wednesday for students and chaperones. Please send it in ASAP!
- This week is Spirit week in honor of Career Day on Friday. Here's how your child can participate everyday:
- Our SOL Tests are on May 17th (Reading) and May 31st (Math). I sent an email home about creating 2 motivation letters that I can give to your child on each test day. Please feel free to send those in as soon as they are done. If you need me to resend the instructions, let me know :-)
As a side note, SOL review and test prep has started to increase in class. We are reviewing content but also practicing strategies that can be used to make the test easier. If your child expresses any stress over the SOLs, please let me know! I am not trying to stress them out but I want to make sure they are prepared. Keep me in the loop if you see any concerning behaviors at home. At the end of the day, I want students to feel confident and ready!
I hope everyone has a great week. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns.
