Happy Wednesday!

Thank you so much to all the mom and dad’s who brought in straws, tissues and paper towels. We all appreciate them.

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend! I did!

I will be assessing the Toad on their letters, letter sounds and actions this week. We have been practicing everyday!
We will be celebrating Dr. Seuss the week on March 6th – 9th. (no school on March 5th)

If you would like to come in and read your favorite Dr. Seuss Book to us during our celebration. Please send me an email to let me know which book and which day. You can read when you drop off or at 10:15! Please invite grandparents too!

Have a great week

Mrs. Clark

We are using the Aimsweb student assessment system at our school to help meet the needs of our students.  Today,  students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will bring home their Aimsweb results in their Wednesday envelopes.   The Aimsweb assessments  are used to screen students, assess academic growth, identify those who may need interventions, and drive instruction.  Students in 3rd through 5th grades were administered two (eight minute) math assessments called the M-CAP and the M-Comp.  Students in 4th and 5th grades were also administered a three minute reading comprehension assessment called the MAZE.   These are brief screening tests, but the scores are standardized and national percentiles are given.   Please contact your child’s homeroom teacher if you have questions on the assessment results.

Mrs. Anderson’s update for the week of February 20th.
***All 7th graders should take a look at Mr. Gormely’s blog for a family faith exercise you can do at home with you parents.

In Science This Week:
All grade levels should continue to keep up will assigned reading, vocabulary, and lesson review questions. I do give points for completing the section review questions and vocabulary for each lesson. Please remember vocabulary definitions and lesson review questions should be kept in your science notebook to help you study for the chapter test.

6th grade
6-2 Will be taking the test on Chapter 1 this Friday, February 24th.
6-3 Will be taking the test on Chapter 9 this Friday, February 24th.

7th grade
7-2 Will be taking the test on Chapter 22 this Friday, February 24th.
7-3 Will be taking the test on Chapter 16 this Friday, February 24th.

8th grade
8-1 Will be taking the test on Chapter 19 this Friday, February 24th.
8-2 Will be taking the test on Chapter 5 this Friday, February 24th.

Please remember any student who scored below a 76% on their science test has the opportunity to raise their test grade 5%points by doing the following.
• Take the test home and have their parents sign the test
• Look through their science book and find the correct answers for the questions they got wrong.
• Write the correct answer on the test (in a different color ink) and write down the page number from the science book that you found the correct answer on.

Students will have one week to complete this to earn the extra points.

Due to our days off  we have no emails for the envelope this week.
