i-Ready Testing –<\/strong> We will begin our fall standardized assessment, hopefully early this week, I have not been told the exact days yet. We are using a new program this year called i-Ready. This will replace the NWEA testing.<\/strong> From what I have heard this should be a great change. This program will give us new information and should be more kid-friendly! Here is a short video <\/a>that explains i-Ready. To prepare for testing please make sure that your child is well rested each day (kids this age need 9-11 hours of sleep), eats a good protein breakfast and arrives on time to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans may change <\/strong>– due to the time needed for testing and the Book Fair it is very likely that the plans will change since we won’t have enough time for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book fair –<\/strong> On Friday we sent home the Scholastic Book Fair Flyer. We will be going shopping on 9\/12, to preview what books are available. it is helpful if your child knows approximate amount they are allowed to spend, they will bring home a “wish list” of items they are interested in on Tuesday and you will send back enough money (don’t forget tax) for the books you will allow them to get. Please put the money in a sealed ziploc bag or envelope with their name on it. We will make purchases on Wednesday. There will be a make up day Thursday if anyone misses shopping on Wednesday. Volunteers are still needed to help at the book fair: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoke house trip <\/strong>– Our class will be going to the Dearborn Fire Smoke House on October 30th. This is a very small location and I will only need 1 or 2 chaperones. This trip is a safety trip to explain to your child what they need to do in a real fire. It is an important trip for your child to attend. We will have a fire fighter come to the school before the trip to discuss safety also. They usually get to try on the firefighter’s hat too, which is lots of fun for the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
