As your kids probably told you, I was out Friday with a sick child. Therefore, the progress reports will go out on Monday. Thanks for your understanding.
We missed our spelling test since I was out, so I will get this made up this week.
Two weeks of boot camp are behind us and the CRCT is upon us! I think the kids really enjoyed the boot camp sessions.
The boot camp sessions took time away from our regular schedule, therefore I postponed some tests until after the CRCT. For starters, although we finished our studies on the Reform Movement (Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and and Elizabeth Cady Stanton), we will not test until the middle of next week. My math class will also take their algebra math test this same week. We will spend time
reviewing both of these topics before we test.
The CRCT begins promptly at 9:00. Students are not allowed to come into the classroom tardy. They will have to make the test up on another day in a different classroom. Testing will take the majority of time before lunch.
Our schedule beyond the CRCT will be reviewing for the next day's test. It will be a light review with games, talking, etc. After all, students will have already spent a large part of their day in a stressful situation. I will try to lighten the load in the afternoons. I am not planning to give any homework, but if you would like for your child to get on Study Island or the OAS at night, that would be great. They could do a bit of last minute practice for the next day's test.
This coming Friday we will have our movie day behavior reward for the month of April. I would like to get at least one more auction in this school year. The stock is running low, so if you are at Wal-mar, the Dollar Store, or the Target dollar section, it would be greatly appreciated if you could pick up a few things to contribute to the auction. Thanks!
If you have not sent in money for the field trip, please do so as soon as possible. The easiest way to pay is via the payments plus website, which is the same way you pay for lunches online. We get an update every day showing who has paid using this method. Please send in the permission slip stating the method of payment. For those of you who put down you would like to chaperon, I will be contacting you once we have our numbers. There will be limited space on the bus for parents (we have 3 buses that will hold a max. of 150 people), but anyone can go as long as they are willing to drive. Expect an email from me in the next week if you mentioned you were interested. Thank you!
Have a great week!
