Weekly Update May 8-12

Thank you all for taking the time with your child this week to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. You spoiled me with gifts, treats, and super sweet cards that brought a smile to my face and warmed my heart. Thank you!

I was so proud of our children this week during testing. We had pep talks each day, and did some nice stretching and breathing to help them remain calm. They jumped in and worked so hard. The tests are long and can be overwhelming, but they kept at it and did their best. Thanks for all of the snacks to help make the days less painful! We have two more days of testing this week on Monday and Wednesday, so we will not have Spelling or Math homework until CAASPP testing is finished.

We will continue to work on our missions this week. Then we will send the folders home and the students will complete the mission boards at home. You are welcome to have them log in to their Google docs and continue editing. They may print at school after they have had an adult check their editing. Please let me know if your child needs a poster board. Your child may bring in their mission board as scheduled on May 16 if they are ready, but we have EXTENDED THE MISSION DUE DATE to MONDAY, MAY 22. Boards turned in after that will receive reduced points.
 
Please help your child memorize and practice their speaking parts for our performance of "Gold Dust or Bust" if they have speaking parts. We will continue rehearsing in school this week.
 

Thank you for your continued support for our classroom and have a great week!
