Hope that eveyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend weather. It is was such wonderful weather to be outside. Well I am sure you heard from your child what a wonderful field tirp we had. I think that all the students and adult voluteers had a great time. Thanks so much to all of you who came and helped out on the field trip.
We once again have a busy week ahead of us. We will be taking a practice Reading STAAR on Tuesday .Grades 4 and 5 will be taking their actual STAAR tests on Tuesday and Wednesday. On those days, there are no visitiors allowed on the campus. Due to the STAAR testing in the upper grades, our specials will be switched on those days from 1:50 to 8:00am. We will also not be having recess until later in the day. Our lunch time will reamin the same.
This week all studnets will be bringing home some additional math and reading homework. I wil be sending it home on Monday and both will be due on Friday. I would like for them to do the work independently and if they need your help or you correct, if you would please circle it so that I know where the student continues to have struggles.
Focus this week:
Math - equivalent fractions
Reading - review - fiction with focus on inference
writing - expostiory piece - field trip
Science - inhereited traits
Social Studieies - founding fathers.
Don't forget about the Spring Fesitval on Saturday March 31, 2012 from 2 - 4. Your child will have the opportunity to dunk Mrs. Prud'homme in the dunk tank. It is sure to be a fun event. In addition, you could bid to win a silent auction teacher time - which will be going to JumpStreet with Mrs. Prud'homme and Ms. Derrington. Hope to see all of you there on Saturday.
Beginning on Monday April 2,2012 we will begin our 7 day STAAR camp where students will rotate to different rooms to review skills in preparation ofr the STAAR test. Our themes is Beach Camp. It is always fun and a great way to review what has been covered this year.
