I want to start this morning by thanking all students and families for the thoughtful gifts and warm thoughts this week. I greatly appreciate the extra time that you set aside to remember me during teacher’s appreciation week. Thank you!
This next week we will begin our Spring session of NWEA MAP testing. I am very excited to see how much all of the students have grown since the winter session. Please help your child do their best by ensuring they are getting enough sleep (at least 9-10 hours), a healthy breakfast, and encouraging them to take their time and try their best.
In addition to the NWEA MAP tests, the fourth-graders will have a math test on Monday. Also, the usual spelling test will be on Friday. During the week, I am going to try to prioritize getting our classroom skit polished off and recorded. While there are no specific costumes for the kids, it would be great if they had a shirt in their crayon color. Perhaps the best idea would be to have your child keep it in their locker to be ready when I feel they are prepared to record.
Our final Scholastic Book order is due back tomorrow, Friday, May 7. Please remember that you can order online with the classroom code or send exact payment back to school in the form of cash or with a check made out to “Susan Van Houten.”
