Week of May 15-19th

We made it through three days of our testing schedule! We will be on our testing schedule only two days this week, Wednesday and Thursday, as grades 4-5 complete tests. We will continue to complete our own DRA testing in class.

Practicing for our Fairy Tale production is going really well. We will begin making and gathering props this week as we continue to rehearse.

I have an appointment on Tuesday, May 23rd and will be away from school. Mrs. Jackson (a sub that I have used before) will be in the class. Please remind your child to be on his/her best behavior while I am out.
