The NWEA test for Math will be Monday morning, January 29.  Good Luck and beat those fall scores!!!

It is that time of year again and we will begin testing in Reading on Monday, January 22, 2018.  Math will be on Monday, January 29.  Please be sure that your child is well rested and has a healthy breakfast before the test.

Our music teacher Mrs. Susan Harden has planned a field trip for 2nd and 3rd grades to the Detroit Historical Museum and to Orchestra hall.  The field trip will be all day Friday, February 2 for our class and Ms. Keebler’s class.  We will be taking a bus and we will be in need of about 7 chaperones and no more.  First 7 to sign up for chaperones will be chosen.  I will send the slip home tomorrow.  Thanks!

Good Morning!  Our field trip to Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum is tomorrow.  Please, all chaperones meet here at school at 9:40.  Check in with the office and then report to my room.  I’ll have a map for you if needed and the schedule for the day.  The map shows the parking areas near the museum .  Once all have arrived, those that are taking a group and those that are taking your own child will be able to leave.  I’d like to leave by 9:45 so please be on time.

Remember that all students and chaperones need a lunch.  They will provide us with a room for lunch.  There is no place nearby to purchase a lunch so bring your own.  We will have time to explore a little before lunch and after the Slime Time activity.

Also remember to send your child with a little money for the gift shop.  Chaperones will not buy any items for other children in his/her group except if it is his/her own child.

I will be sending home a letter either today or tomorrow explaining Raz kids.  You may be familiar with this website.  The students used it last year in Ms. Schneider’s class. I adjusted the reading levels to this years levels.  Please follow the instructions on the letter and happy reading!!!

I am sending home a new calendar for January and February for journal topics.  Please have your child write every Tuesday and Thursday with at least 5 sentences.  Please also remember to write the date.  Return the journals the next day. Thank you.

Our field trip to the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum will be Wednesday, January 17.  That day is a late start day so our trip will begin at 9:45.  I will allow BOTH small groups to drive with a parent and individual students drive with their own parent.  Please indicate on the permission slip if you are driving your own child or are willing to take a small group in your car.  I will keep the current permission slip except please note the time change.  If you’ve lost the slip over the break, I will send a new one on Monday.  Sorry for the changes.

Dear Parents,

Due to parental requests, all students will need to be driven by his/her own parent to the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum.  A bus is not available that day.  I will send a new permission slip either tomorrow or after the break.  If you’ve already sent it in, no worries, we will adjust it.  No extra money should be needed.

Thank you,

Ms. Truxall

Permission slips are going home today.  Please return them by this Friday.  Thanks.

Next week Friday, December 22 there will be a math test.  I am sending home the practice test today. Please skip number 5.  This question will not be on the actual test.  Please email me soon if you need the answer sheet. Thanks!
