SO EXCITED

We had a great day today and forgot a few times that it was Tuesday rather than Monday. It is amazing what kinds of routines we get into.
Tomorrow is our NWEA Reading Test. I am so excited for these because I am so confident that the students are going to shine. They took this same test at the beginning of 4th grade. Taking it again will show the tremendous growth they have shown in reading and it allows me to see all I've taught them and what we still need to work on. It is on the computer so they will have to work hard and not rush. If they rush, they may have to do it again because the computer adjusts the questions to their ability. So the moral of the story-"take your time and do your very very best" to eliminate possible re-testing. I will get the results of these tests right away so that is cool too. Please see that your child gets a good night's rest, healthy breakfast, and bring a healthy snack. Please go over these testing thoughts with your child tonight and write "I am going to do my best" in their planners for free money.
April reading calendars went home today so READ-READ-READ!!
Also, the states & capitals study guide went home for the last region-the west. They also have the laminated one to practice.
The test over these will be on Friday, April 15th.
Congratulations to our PERFECT ATTENDANCE recipients: Andrew, Blade, Trisha, Zach, and Shane. Good job. :)
Have a great night.
