Week of March 24th through 28th

Hello! Good news! PAWS reading and math testing is over with! Not so good news! We will be having the Student Assessment of Writing Skills (SAWS)  mandated state test in a few weeks. (Ugh!) But as for next week--there's NO testing going on! Please see below for important announcements for the week ahead.

• Where has March gone?? Book-It will end this month. Please remind your child to bring his/her Book-It calendar early next week (by Apr. 1st). Also, right along with the Book-It calendar is the fitness calendar that Mr. Heyer has been sending home since September. This calendar will continue to go home for the remainder of the school year. 

• A pizza party for those students participating in Book-It will be scheduled sometime in April. Please look for a letter in your child's blue folder. 

• I realize that students are beginning to get excited about the upcoming summer break. Please remind your child that school is not out until May 23rd. There is plenty of school left--therefore, plenty of learning left! Rules/procedures/expectations still need to be followed. I will also remind students of this at school. 

• Please see this week's spelling words below:
• what
• there
• each
• write
• right
• around
• another
• help
• always
• show
• asked
• world
• going
• want
• school
• important
• which 
• their
• more
• first
• because
• again
• went
• great
• until
• form
• food
• keep
• children

I realize that a lot of these words have already been spelling words in the past couple of weeks. Some students still have a difficult time with those repeated words. Therefore, repetition is one way to help with this. Please don't hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions or comments. Have a great week!
