Hi All,

The busy weeks continue!

Last week, we devoted Thursday and Friday morning to MAP, an on-line Math and ELA assessment from the district.  This was a challenging exam, as it is based on year-end standards for 4th grade. It will be repeated a couple more times this year. The kids persevered, all putting in their best effort. I was also pleased to see how considerate they were of each other, as they each shifted from testing to quiet and independent work, allowing their classmates time needed to finish the test.

On another note, many more kids remembered their Homework Choice Board this week--26/30. The kids enjoyed sharing some of the activities they did for homework, and it was especially fun to hear from some who tried an activity for the first time!

Finally, if you wish to order from Scholastic, please return forms or order online by Wednesday. Also, please note the Picture Day information coming home.

Take care, and have a good week,
Carroll Mayer
