Well, it’s finally here! Testing week! All grades will be tested on the skills they have been practicing this marking period. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades will be tested on sliding sideways and catching a ball. Third Grade will be tested on their jumping rope. 4th and 5th grades will be tested on sit-ups and underhand strike (volleyball serve). In 5th grade if a student earns a 1 or a 2 on their underhand strike test, they can enter their name in the hat. From the hat, I will choose 3 names per class to be on the student volleyball team which will play the staff in the Spring. Of course, they will need to be able to practice in the morning 2 days per week for 2 weeks at 7:30 am. They also, must be doing their classwork, homework and their behavior must be pretty good. Good luck to all!
