May 10-14, 2010

A HUGE thank you to the parents who pitched in with tickets for us to go to the auction. It's wonderful seeing people donate and give to our school.

Our class is officially done with STAR testing. Students were eager to complete the test and many actually enjoyed it. Surprise, surprise! That's a great sign, because most students tried hard and felt confident. Hopefully the test scores will reflect what they learned this year.

With our dioramas and mammal reports due on Tuesday, there will be no spelling packet this week. On Monday, students should complete their covers and final drafts in class (if they didn't finish on Friday) to be turned in this Tuesday. For those who do not complete their final draft on Monday, they will need to bring it home to finish. Lit Circle jobs and books are also due on Tuesday, so please be sure both are brought to school. We continue to hear excuses as to why Lit. Circles are not done. Students have a whole week to complete their assignment, so please make this a priority. We know that school is coming to an end quickly, but still want to enforce the importance of turning in work on time.

A reminder that this Thursday is Open House from 6:30-8:00. Students will have their dioramas displayed on their desks and a video from the Biography speeches will be available to view. Mrs. Feldbrugge is putting the video together. There will be a sign up sheet to request a CD. Hope you all can make it!

See you soon!
