The M-Step test is a very important test. Students should get on Moby Max Reading Informational and Reading Literature for 30 minutes tonight, but please be sure to GET PLENTLY OF REST AND EAT A HEALTHY BREAKFAST. See the orange attachment below for more ways to help students be successful on the test. Good luck to all!!    

Going on MobyMax and Khan Academy is a proven method to INCREASE test scores! M-Step and NWEA testing starts right after spring break. These tests are very important. A great way to prepare for these tests, especially over a break, is to get on MobyMax and do the Reading Informational and Reading Literature. When going on Khan Academy this is a MATH program, specifically.  Your child’s goal should be 45-60 minutes a day between the two programs.  Use this link to log into these programs using the district provided log in.

As part of Snow Elementary Leader In Me Program, we are asking you, our fabulous students, to reach out in our community to help others.  If you’d like to be a part of the April Clean-Up Club, simply volunteer to help clean-up a neighbor’s, relative’s or your very own yard.  “Clean-up” could include pulling weeds, raking up leftover leaves and sticks from the fall, or picking up trash that has blown into the yard.  Please be sure to have a parent with you and get permission of the community member before cleaning up.  You are giving back to the community, so please offer to do this free of cost.

Each time you help clean-up someone’s yard, write the date and color a square on the chart that is available to you from your classroom teacher.  Once you have helped 5 members in the community, please return the chart to your teacher for acknowledgement of your leadership and kindness.

Thank you for consideration in being a part of our Snow School’s Giving Back Action Team!
