Weekly Update May 1-5

We will begin the CAASPP testing on Tuesday this week Thank you to all of our wonderful families who have signed up to send in refreshments for our children. It is important to help our children keep up their strength during testing! Please be aware our homework schedule will be different during our two week testing session. We will continue Red Reading Folders, but we will not have spelling words/tests or math homework for two weeks. Yippee!!

We will continue to work on our Mission Reports in class all week, so please remind your child to return the blue Mission Folder daily. We completed typing "Founding" and "Early History" in class this week, so if your child has not finished these two summaries on their Google Classroom Document, please help them remember to finish. We will set the format later, but completing the typing is helpful. We finished writing the rough draft for "Early People" in class on Friday, so we will type that summary in class on Monday. Your child has the option to read and take notes for their mission as part of their Red Reading Folder weekly requirements. Please write the name of the mission book or article read, minutes, and "see mission folder" for the written entry. Please remember to initial or sign daily, as usual.

Please return the "Intent to Return" (blue) form and the "Gold Dust or Bust-able to attend" (white) form this week if you haven't already. I offer table points for forms returned!

We will be taking our last field trip of the year to Coloma on Thursday, May 18. I have two parents scheduled to volunteer, but we will need at least three more. Please let me know if you would like to join us! Thank you to all of our wonderful families who donated $5.00 toward busses for our field trips this year. It has been a great year for field trips! Please send in your $5.00 donation this week if you haven't already done so. 

Thank you for your continued support for our students! You are marvelous!
