Due Dates

Testing went very well today. Please continue to encourage your child to stay focussed, read carefully, answer the entire question, show proof when writing the essay questions, and to SHINE! They are doing great. Tomorrow we have the last two reading sessions. We will take one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Snacks may be brought in for both. (Protein Packed!) Thanks for all the great breakfast choices. I heard about them today at morning meeting. Nice!!

Library is tomorrow. Please remember to remind them to bring their books.

Gameboards for SE states are due tomorrow at 8:30 AM. Remember each board needs to have...

1. 25 squares total (no more, no less)

2. 10 squares need fascinating facts about your state

3. 3 places or landmarks drawn on your board and labeled.

4. 3 symbols or words drawn on your board and labeled.

5. Start and an End

6. State Name

7. Creativity and Cooperation are needed

We will be playing these games tomorrow in class and Friday with Mrs. Hankin's class. I have already learned a ton just by grading them. Some funny stuff!!!

Have a wonderful and restful evening!

Reminders.

We have MontCas testing tomorrow for the Reading section. This test is the most challenging due to kids getting tired while reading 4-5 passages. It will really help if they have that full 8 hours of sleep tonight and a good breakfast packed with protein. PLEASE avoid sugar cereals tomorrow. Eggs and peanutbutter toast is a great start! Kids can bring a protein snack as well. Hard boiled eggs are always good, just shell before class please. Peanutbutter on a spoon is also a great treat!

We have been studying animals in science. As an introduction, we have been studying some rare and strange animals from all over the world using Jeff the Zoo guy youtubes. Very cool. Next week we will start an indepth project and study into different environments and the animals that are found there. There will be many components to this group project. Students will need to stay on top of it and contribute to their group. We will also start our journey into the Everglades of Florida with a fun story read by our dear friend, Mrs. Caskey.

There will be a volunteer opportunity this month finally!!! We will once again partner up with MCC and do a road cleanup by Shiloh on the west end. MCC has adopted these miles of road. It will be on March 20th in the morning. Watch for permission and information forms this week.

Spring pictures came home today. You will need to view them and then decide what to do with them. You can purchase all of them, part of them, or none of them. Please send in checks and/or unpurchased pictures by this Friday. $100 reward to those that meet that deadline.

Thanks!

Skate One...Skate All

Hope to see you all tonight at Skate Night, 5:30-8:30, behind Famous Daves on King Ave.

On another note, we have been asked by Mr. Senitte to remind you to make after-school arrangements before kids come to school in the morning. Kids need to know where they are going or who they are going with before they leave the house and will not be allowed to call home at the end of the day. Thanks.

TOMORROW IS 70'S DAY! DISCO, HIPPIES, FLOWER POWER,...SCHOOL APPROPRIATE.

One Test Down...8 More to Go!! Shine, Shine, Shine!

Well, we have session one of nine done for the MontCas Testing. Tomorrow we will complete the last two sessions in Science. Again, it is imperative that your child is at school on time. We start testing at 8:45 tomorrow morning. Students will not be admitted into the room after the testing starts. They will have to wait until the session is over and will be held in the office until then. Good night's rest and a healthy breakfast are recommended as well. Kids may bring an egg or peanut butter snack to eat in between sessions tomorrow. Please have students de-shell their hard boiled eggs BEFORE bringing them to class. Thanks. The test went AWESOME today and EVERYONE took their time and did their best. I am very proud of all of them.

Don't forget tomorrow is skate night! :0)

It's Test Time!

SCIENCE MONTCAS TESTING STARTS TOMORROW MORNING!!! PLEASE make sure your child is AT school and on time tomorrow and Thursday. A good nights sleep and a protein breakfast are HIGHLY recommended.
