As I look ahead I see that next Wednesday is Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday. We will not be having a Valentine’s Day party, but the students will be able to exchange valentines with each other during lunch. Also, since it is Ash Wednesday, we will be starting to change up our spelling schedule. We will not be having spelling assignments on Wednesdays to help lighten the school work load so that families can attend midweek Lenten worship services.
Tomorrow we are heading by bus for a field trip to the Ordway Music Theatre. Please have your student wear their Trinity shirt. We will eat lunch once we return.
This next week we will also be doing or mid-year FAST testing in Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. There is nothing that your child needs to do to prepare for these tests other than to get a good night’s rest and eat a healthy breakfast each day. Each test takes about an hour to complete so it will be substituted in for a different class each day.
In addition to the FAST testing the students will have an English test on Wednesday and then math tests and the usual spelling test on Friday.
