One Week Down…

 

One more to go. Congratulations to the third graders who worked so hard this week on the AIMS testing!  Now that they are finished, third graders are going to the zoo on Monday. Please send them with walking shoes, a water bottle, a hat and a lunch in a paper sack.

Second graders have Stanford 10 testing on Monday and Tuesday. Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast.

Looking Ahead

May and the summer are nearly upon us, so we are looking ahead to birthdays that fall in May, June or July. If your child has a birthday in one of these months and they want to celebrate with the class, please talk to Ms. Beth or Ms. Cori about setting up a day. The best week to do celebrations will be the week of May 6^th.
