Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving Break

I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving break! I know I did.  Today a lady came around to talk to the kids about doing health careers.  This is an after school program that takes 10 kids from 5th grade to go to the hospital and do activities such as touring the hospital.  They will also be paired with one of the volunteers from the hospital.  Once the children are selected it will start in January and be on the 3rd Thursday every month.  If you have questions please contact Donna Zornes.

Progress reports were due back today! If your child has not brought their signed report back they can do so tomorrow.  Spelling pretest started today. Some students were testing and will take it tomorrow.

Testing has started this week and will finish up next week for MTSS.  This test measures their fluency and accuracy while reading.  So far everyone that has been tested is making progress compared to the fall scores.

Book orders are due on Friday.  I will be out of the building Friday morning for a Dr. Apt.  I will be back at lunch.  So I will send in the book order after school.  Please remember that if you are wanting it to be a surprise for your child to let me know!

In science/social studies labs your child is starting a big colony project.  They just finished social studies with me and should have completed their "fakebook" page about their explorer.  Ask your child about it.

Students need to bring a paint shirt to keep in their locker by Friday.
