Monday, February 4th

This looks to be a warmer week so I hope that we will have no trouble completing the NWEA and DRA testing.  Today your child worked very hard on testing.  It was done in the morning and afternoon in addition to the Math-a-Thon and spelling test. It was one tough day!  Now all we have to do is complete tests that weren’t finished.  So make sure that your child has a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast in the morning so they are ready to test!

Wednesday is a Late Start!  School begins at 9:35.

Our 2nd Quarter Celebration will take place next Wednesday, February 13th at 2:15.  Please come and cheer on our students!

Today your child has brought home his/her report card.  Please go over it together, keep the report card and sign and return the envelope.  Sign on the 2nd qt. line only.  As so as the NWEA testing is completed, I will send home a copy of your child’s test results.

Homework

Spelling– Write your words 2 times in cursive on the worksheet.  Sign and correct your spelling test.

Read at least 20 minutes and write in your log.
