I hope everyone had an enjoyable break.  We are back and working hard.  I have posted April’s home project on our home project page.  I know we are still trying to finish up presentations from March.  We had a mad rush at the end of the month, so we hope to finish those presentations in the next couple of days.  I would like to encourage students to avoid waiting until the last day.

Third graders are scheduled for their language sage test on Wednesday, April 22nd, in the afternoon.  They are also scheduled for Monday, May 11th, for their math test.  Please make certain your child is in attendance these days.  It is difficult to make arrangements for make-up testing.  Please continue to help your child, by drilling them on their multiplication math facts.  The faster they know these, the easier their application will be.

Parents, unfortunately, I feel that is important for me to remind of the importance of having our students to school on time.  In recent weeks, we’re having an increase in students coming to school late.  They’re missing critical group lessons and it’s difficult to find the necessary time to repeat them.  I have three grade levels for individual group lessons on top of giving each child their own individual lessons.  I value every student’s education and want for them to be successful, but need support in making this happen.  I understand illness and occasional appointments, but beyond this makes it difficult for all members of our classroom.  Thanks for your understanding.
