Caldwell Zoo trip is April 10th.  We need parent volunteers to chaperone students at the zoo.  Please send me a note or email if you will volunteer.  If you have not completed a background check, I will send a form home and please return by Wednesday.

Thanks!

Just a reminder:  Friday is a holiday!  Enjoy your long weekend and Happy Easter!

Since it is a short week, there will be no reading passage sent home for homework.  Your child can always get on Read Theory.  They will know how to sign in and all since we do it regularly.  This is a great resource!!

Benchmark information is being sent home today.  Grades are not disclosed but we did mark if your child met expectations or did not.  If your child did not meet expectations, please have him/her do Read Theory and read books at home.  We are pulling your child for tutorials or your child is in an intervention program (in which you have already been notified earlier in the year).  We see your child every day and know how he/she is capable of performing.  Please boost your child with praise and encourage him/her to just do his/her best!  These tests are long and students are building stamina.  The STAAR test is around the corner and we are trying our best to build that stamina in order to prepare them for the rigor of the STAAR test.  Making sure your child is reading for extended periods of time and staying focused will be the best tool you can give your child.

This Week:

Vocabulary test on Quizlet will be on Wednesday.  Your child needs to be practicing Quizlet as much as possible.

Spelling words are being sent home today.  Test will be next Thursday (4/5).

We will be discussing the Benchmark and reviewing testing strategies.

Easter Party is on Thursday at 8:30.  Please make sure your child has 19 filled Easter eggs with their Easter basket by Wednesday.  Students will be allowed to sign out in the rooms after the party.  PLEASE make sure you sign your child out so I am not frantically looking for him/her and going in panic mode…ha!
