Wishing everyone a positive MSTEP week and happy May!

The only homework this week will be math and reading logs.

Please remember the following for next week:

• Be on time EVERY day
• Eat a HEALTHY breakfast (no Poptarts!)
• Get a good night’s rest
• Stay positive!

Also, the schedule has had some changes. We will be testing next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  The following week, we will be testing Monday and Tuesday.

Good morning!

As you know MSTEP is coming up – next week, in fact. Students will be testing for ELA Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the morning.  It is of the utmost importance that students are here daily, on time, and have eaten a proper breakfast.

Due to the schedule, I will not be giving out new spelling words for the next couple weeks. The last computation quiz will be this week until MSTEP is done. Additionally, the students will have their science test this week to wrap things up.

Please remind your child to practice their math facts, ExactPath, reading log, and to look over their assessment books for additional practice. If we work together, this will be a successful testing time!

Did you know that April is Earth Awareness Month?  Although we don’t celebrate Earth Day until April 22, it’s important to do our part EVERY DAY to keep the earth clean and beautiful.  Here is a great link with earth-friendly activities to do at home:
