Friday, April 5th

Thank you for all the donations to the snack pile for testing week. The kids will love getting these snacks to hopefully relax them while they are testing. We have tests scheduled Monday - Thursday next week. Friday should be somewhat of a normal day. If you could refrain from pulling them from appointments those days I would appreciate it. Making up the tests is kinda hard.

Reminder that Wednesday is a half day!

Research paper is due on Monday! Almost everyone has turned theirs in but I do still have a few out.

Next week will be a little weird because of testing.
We will have spelling and memory as usual.
No other tests.

We will start a small Social Studies presentation.
We will also continue reading When You Reach Me.
