10-24-14

Today is the last day of MAP testing.  Today will be make-ups for kids that were gone.  The kids have handled the shuffle in schedule/and rooms very well this week.  It's hard to change our routine.  Today we will be taking the end of theme test.  This will cover everything that we learned during the first theme.  There was no studying to be done....so don't worry that you missed something!  The kids have been working on their review of the materials here at school this week.

Next Friday is Halloween.  We don't do holiday parties in 5th and 6th grade.  Instead we have a movie time during the rest of the school's party.  Please allow your 5th grader to bring a pillow, drink, and snack that day.

Next week:  We will return to normal!  We will have new spelling and vocabulary words and get back into the stories from our reading series. This next unit is called Give it all You've Got!
